Bicycle Built for Who?

So, me and the wife decided to lay down some serious cash the other day for 2 Giant OCR-3s at our local Village Bike Shop the other day. We went on Saturday to look at different bikes and test ride them around for a few hours and got fitted for size. Then, we decided on those Giants. We didn't buy them until Tuesday because the shop was having a 10% off sale.

I'm kind of excited to get back into biking. Haven't ridden since I got the license. Maybe it's just me, maybe it's because I'm used to mountain bikes, but this seat that comes with the OCR-3 seriously hurts what Emily calls my ischium (I believe). I might need to get one more comfortable. I cannot ride for extended periods with that much discomfort. Maybe I'm sitting on it wrong, but something has to be done. I don't like the stirrups on the pedals, either. They're a pain to slip into.

Here's a tip: One-strap backpacks suck while riding a bike. The stupid thing kept rotating around to my front, causing me to have to jerk it around back in order to ride right. Oh, and jerking your backpack to the front causes your bike to wobble on the road. And wobbling bikes on the road cause drivers to want to not get close to you or cause your brains to end up in a wheel well.

Way to go Nike! *thumbs up*
