My new bicycle

I've just puchased a new bike yesterday. If you recall in a previous post, I mentioned that a good sport for me to persue would be cycling. I went out and did it - I purchased a road bike.

It's a Raleigh RC8000 - Shimano Tiagra Equiped, front forks and rear posts are carbon fibre. I believe that this is a good thing, because it provides for a more comfortable ride and makes the bike lighter (mine weighs 7.6kg).

Altogether, I'm elated. I took it for a bit of a trial ride around the block - I'm so unfit. I do however believe that I've made a wise choice.
