Yes, finally she gets her much anticipated new bike!!!After minimal searching and maximum discussion I settled on this little beauty from Russ Hay's Bicycle Shop. The Norco Rideau. I chose the men's frame as it is better suited to my tall body. But don't worry it still came with the comfy, puffy seat I like to refer to as the Mary Poppins seat.
The nice salesboy hooked me up with a cute helmet and installed my water bottle cage for me as he insisted the most important thing is stay well hydrated. (duh!) After I've had her for a little while I will go back for a kickstand, lock, tire pump, and hopefully a cool little odometer so I can track how far I'm riding each week. I'll set some sort of challenge for myself to earn that little gizmo.
For her inaugural ride I took her for a spin up to our property gate and back. 15 mins and that was enough for me!! Bi0nic or not, obviously my cardio is in some need of some serious help! haha! But it was fun and I'm sure I'll be booting along comfortably in no time!!
So by the time Mr. Bi0nic returns from his East Coast mission hopefully I shall have legs (and lungs!) of steel!

OOOH good for you!!!! Sounds like you will be well equipped!! Will you get a basket and a bell for it?? *laughs* I miss those days, you know with the streamers and spokes...*sigh* childhood!!!
I just got back on my bike last year and it IS like they say ("just like riding a bike") but I have a fear of falling...no fun!!!
Good on the salesboy for telling people they need to remain hydrated!!
