A week of riding in a glance.

So it's been a week since I've been riding Kyoko (the name of my bike) on real roads in real traffic.  I must start by saying that the mobility and accessibility with her is simply amazing.  I can park right next to where my classes are, and I can park at Northgate (bars, food, and social center of College Station) without paying.  In addition, I can park close to the REC center and work.  It encourages me to go work out, and anything that does that is worth its weight in gold.

Traffic has been pretty quiet.  I'm getting better at following a vehicle.  I either was lagging from a start or was riding too close for a stop.  Friday's lunch traffic was the first congested traffic I've been in, and it was fierce.  Regardless, I managed to get home just fine.  

I've noticed that the brakes, while good, are not rated for my weight.  I could use bigger discs/calipers, but we'll worry about that when I graduate to a 600SS in a few years :D.

I really want to go try riding some local twisties, but I have to finish a Maymester course (cramming 1 semester of class into 2 weeks.)
