I had the pleasure of working with 5 new Princesses this week while they got accustomed to their bikes, the city’s pathways and roadways.  This was the inaugural Princess Pedal Townie Clinic and I’d say that based on the feedback – it went pretty well.  I discovered some delightful, refreshing things.

Not everyone interested in getting on a bike is looking for a “workout”.  Some riders are interested in getting out for some fresh air and a chance to explore the city.  The fitness is the bonus offer.

Not everyone interested in getting on a bike wants clip in pedals, enormous mileage or racing strategy.  Some, just like the idea of hopping on and knowing that they can safely get from point A to point B… and maybe get a coffee or an ice cream in the process.

The strongest link to competitiveness in this clinic was “to see if I can get through the summer on one tank of gas”.  FANTASTIC!

Townie Princesses – I salute you!  You are awesome.

LiveSplendidly!
