Godspeed on you and getting well again.....terrible accident. When I tried the Trek out, it seemed fine, but I can't really haul on the thing....it's too like dainty feeling....wackydeirdre said:Good God, sit around and get fat? Don't you dare even think it! Didn't you take the Trek for a test run before you bought it? Thats a lot of money to toss! Well, youve spent it. Damage done. How about a mountain bike. Speed isn't an issue and you want something heavy. They sure are heavy and you definetly won't pick up much speed on one. You will get your execise and it wll get you where you want to go. Why not give the trek another chance though. ride it where there isn't traffic until youre used to it. Keep in mind the tires are thin and won't provide traction on a greasy road after a mild shower. Heavier rain isn't as much of a problem if at all but it isn't much good for the bike and isn't advisable unless you are good at bike maintance. Best of luck to you! Let me know what you end up doing.
