So here is the exciting news of the week - we bought Ryan a bike this week! We had looked at bikes last fall, but when we saw the 2009 Cannondale bicycles, there were some very cool options that we decided to hold out for. After waiting more than a few months (had to make sure the jobs were secure before diving into this purchase), we decided to go ahead and take the plunge! So on Tuesday we went into Velo City, with a bicycle in mind. It was the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 6 - vivid blue/lightening white - very cool looking bike. We got Ryan all measured to figure out what size bike would fit him best.
After looking at the sizing options, MC (Mike Clark - Holland bike guru, shop owner, summer tandem buddy), had an idea for our purchase. There was a 2008 Synapse with MUCH better components (ultegra versus sora on the 2009), very cool paint job, and a proposed sticker price that was such a deal, we decided we couldn't pass it up. So here is a picture of Ryan's new bike. His looks a little different with different wheels, handlebar tape, and saddle, but essentially is still the same thing. It is a Synapse Liquigas Team replica bike. It looks great next to my bike, and is an exciting addition to our family!
Ryan came with me and rode at the indoor ride on Wednesday night. He did very well!! It was good practice for clipping in and out of the pedals, and starting the process of getting the bum used to a skinny saddle! :-)
So bring on the warm weather - we want to get out and RIDE!! :-)
