Newest Torture Device

Ladies and Gentlemen: I give you the Bicycle!!!

Now don't get me wrong just from reading the title, my bike is awesome! It is fun to ride, burns calories, helps tone my legs, and the best part...matches my car! I am going to look so cute when I get a bike rack!! I will drive around town with my matching bike and car!! I am going to have to budget a bit more gas money first though!  The bike itself is not the torture device.  The seat is.  Last night my cousin Ethan and I decided to take our bikes to the greenbelt.  It would have been fine had we not decided to ride all the way to Boise State University (sadly, I wasn't wearing my Vandal shirt! Ugh! Missed opportunity!).  It is just under 13 miles round trip, and something we did in about an hour and 15 minutes.  We kept a great pace and things were going quite fabulously until about mile 6.  That is when the "bike butt" flared up! The seats that come with the bike are less than soft.  I didn't think much of this when my parents bought it for me, because let's just say, I have ample padding of my own!  Not so much.  Oh, I do have ample padding, but I don't think there is enough padding in the world to compensate for the brick I was sitting on!   I am almost positive that the bruises I now have on the backs of my legs and booty are permanent and I may have a permanent imprint of the word "Mongoose" in a very unfortunate spot! 

I do have to say that I am extremely proud of Ethan and I! We rocked the greenbelt!! It was so much fun to get out of the gym and in the fresh air.  The only down fall was the amount of bugs that are around the river.  I am pretty sure I ate a few, and the ones that I didn't end up digesting were splattered on my shirt and in my hair.  I couldn't wait to get home and shower! Maybe on our next ride we can take my 10 speed off some sick jumps! 

Sitting on my bike!

Proof I actually road the bike!
