That's right. Had my first taste of fun, now I'm determined.
Ha! Nah, no wheelies yet. Worked mostly with curves and turns and speed today. Can't go but so fast down here. It's not posted but everyone (but me,
) drives only one way. Lots of blind curves and such. I put on about 7 miles, but just up and down on my one lane street. Will be easier tomorrow in the daytime, when everybody is at work and no traffic. I think I talked to someone from each of the 8 or 9 houses on my street today. It must be an attention getter.
It's taking me some time to get used to it because I feel like I'm too short for it. I'm (almost) 5'4". That's not extremely short, but my feet won't sit flat on the ground. One or the other could if I lean the bike, but not both at the same time. Slightly more than toes touching. I'll never get the benefit from that neat little backrest. lol. I have to sit way up at the front of the seat, so when I stop I will be able to lean the scoot one way or the other a little around my leg to set a foot flat on the ground. I don't know if I explained that right. It's like my knees are almost directly under the handle bars. Not real comfy. I feel like if I had one or two more inches on the bottom of my shoe it would be much more comfortable and easier for me. I wonder if there are shoes or even boots like that, where the whole bottom sole is bigger, not just a heel. There should be some kind of easy solution.
Near one end of our street, there's a nice little house for sale with a small horseshoe type driveway, it's kind of on a hill. (It's all hills down here, lol.) First time I pulled in there and came up the hill and pulled out the other side and turned right into the street without slowing to a stop or putting my foot down I was like, Whoa, did I do that? This is too cool.
