Birthday Bike

One of the reasons I've disliked riding bikes in my youth was because I never had one of my own.  I borrowed my sister's or my brother's but the ill fitting size usually led to a crash. So...

my husband gave me a bike for my birthday!

Technically he gave me money so I could find the perfect bike for me.  So now the fun begins.  I'm currently researching what kind of bike would best suit my needs and wants and still fit in my allotted budget.  I'm hoping to get a great deal at an end-of-season sale.  Triathlon, road, hybrid...there's a lot of possiblities out there.  It should be a fun and interesting ride (pun intended).
