Road Bike Fit

Planet X Road BikeI’m home today. I’m working on my airfare blog. I’d like to get good at it. But, I also need a little relaxation. Exercise, too. So, I’m supposed to be picking up my new Planet X Road Bike next week when it’s finished. My thoughts? Fit, mostly. See the following YouTube videos: How to do a basic bike fitProper Road Bike FitBicycle Fit – “What Size Bicycle do I need?”How to Fit a Road Bike; and Road Bike Fitting at Schlegel Bicycles. How many videos does YouTube have for people to watch that are about fitting a road bike? I’d say a few hundred at minimum. Maybe more. How many do I need to watch? I’m not sure, but I’m sure I will be watching some more. Maybe I’ll add them to the list.

Downtown Amarillo Bike Ride

Amarillo TX Cool BuildingI don’t know what most people do when they come to Amarillo, TX, but I was going to park my car downtown and ride my bike around town. Here we have a picture of a building I thought had something of a classic look to it. It was currently abandoned. But, if I were looking for a large building in Amarillo, TX I would certainly look at this one. Primarily because I liked the way it looked. But the whole point wasn’t to scope out architecture, it was to take a ride around town on my bicycle, which seems to travel at close to the perfect speed for a tourist like me – not too fast and not too slow. I call it the “just right” tourism speed. I got to see the downtown section of Amarillo really well and I got to get a little exercise in the process.
