Free Bike

After my girlfriend won a free bike, she decided to give it to me because she figured I would get more use out of it than her. I took her up on the offer and picked out the model, make and sizing myself. This evening, she received a call from her mother (had the bike delivered to her house) who said that the bike is taller than she is, even with the seat down as far as it goes. There is only one thing you can say in a situation like this: Whoops.

I think the lesson that I am going to take away from this experience is: Even if you think you know what's going on, you probably don't. So don't try to guess on the measurements of your own bike if you've never bought a new bike before.

Sharon called and said even with the seat all the way down Tommy couldn't even ride it. You better cross your fingers you can ride that $600 bike! Otherwise I don't think there is anyone else in the state of MN who can. We are relatively short in that area.
