We've purchased the shoes! Also, I'm home and have finally met my bike. The shoes won't come for a little while so I'm not actually sure when I get to ride it for the first time but don't worry, it'll be funny.
Also, I'm going to a cycling class tomorrow at the Y, so don't worry about that either. Actually, you probably should. Three months isn't long at all!! I hope I'm still alive for next semester.
