    Why is riding upright bad? At this point, I prefer it. I realize all the speed racers ride bent over (i’m sure that’s not the cycling term) but I don’t need to go super fast, just to ride to work 2 or 3 times a week, and enjoy it enough to keep doing it.

    You’re right – the 17″ frame did feel too big. Its been so long since I’ve been on a bicycle, I didn’t think I knew what it should feel like. I thought the seat was just too tall, but now that you point it out, I should definitely get the 15″. The $550 for the Trek 7.2 is for a new WSD.

    Thanks everyone for all the advice and encouragement! I can’t stay downtown that late due to child care, but I will try the low gears and take my time (and research the bus routes just in case!)
