the wheels go round

I have been considering buying a bike for a while. I am not sure that I like biking, but have been watching riders in the city for the past few weeks and thinking it is something that I should be doing. Of course the number of times I see a car almost cream a poor cyclist, my convictions tend to wane.

Somehow this indecision over buying a bike led me to start a spin class. I figure if I can get in shape enough and used to the feel of riding, that getting out on the road won't be so daunting. I signed up for a four month unlimited membership, fully recognizing that the only true way to get me to commit to something is to make me feel it in the wallet.

My first class was pure hell. I didn't know I could sweat that much and today the saddle butt is a real reminder about what i've gotten myself in for...Yesterday's class will either be the single most expensive fitness class or I will persevere and in four months I will have one kick ass bod.
