Well, the bike ride was an experience.  After Greg washed mine off and aired up the tires, I got on it and took off down the street only to discover the brakes didn&#39;t work and I ended up in one of my neighbor&#39;s yards.  Greg determined that they do work, but you have to pull up on them harder than I really can with my tendonitis.  So he had me ride his and and he rode mine.  We rode for about 45 minutes...not long, but I will have to work up to it.  He said we would go look for a new bike for me tomorrow...
