Keith owns a road bike

After riding the Schwinn a total of 125 miles in two and a half weeks, Jennifer knew she liked the riding style and wanted a bike made for her size.  

Three days ago, she went back to the Trek store to see about the bike again.  The store had what she wanted in a smaller size, so Jennifer went back on Tuesday because they brought the right size from their other location.  Jennifer took a test ride and bought the bike.  The manager threw in two water bottles with cages, a valve nozzle adapter, and a bottle of lubricant.  That was $29 of free stuff that we'll use.

So, you want to see a picture of the new bike?  Well, the camera will never do it justice, but the Trek website has a pretty picture.  If you know anything about bikes, you can see the specs and geometry there, too.  

Jennifer rode 3 miles with Keith on Tuesday (they both rode road bikes), and she road 31.4 miles yesterday, which is a new longest distance for her!  Jennifer is also considering training for a century ride in September in Savannah.  (Yes, "century" as in 100 miles in a day!  Think "marathon of biking.")
