As soon as the bike was finished, I was going to take it out to The Fort for a ride but then it started raining hard. Even when it let up the skies were grey so I just headed back home. By the time I got to Makati, the rain had completely stopped so I took the bike around my four-street village. The ride was smooth, if not a bit frisky, and felt very plush. That the bike was moving around a lot under me is probably because I haven't been biking very long, and my tires are set to 40 psi. I also have to fine tune that fork. I'm just assuming a lot here.
Also, I did the stupidest thing. I stuck a decal to my frame, regretted it, and had to scrape it off. So I scratched my bike less than six hours after it was built, and not even by riding it. Next time, just get on it and go.
Tomorrow I'm biking along Daang Hari with friends who will be on road bikes. Let's see how that turns out.

Why is it that when you talk about biking, I lose confidence in my not-so-great-but-definitely-existent biking abilities?
You make it sound like rocket science for some reason! :-)
I did tell you that I tumbled over the curb in an empty street because I was trying to stop right?
I might have tuned out for a while, the way students do when the lesson gets too hard. I vaguely remember now. BTW this is what I mentioned to you the other day: http://en.velib.paris.fr/
