May 26th 2011 marks a day that I think could be infamous…
The day I purchased and took ownership of my first road bicycle…

I’m super psyched to get into it for fitness, fun and whatever comes along with it, I’m pumped to pedal…

Felt Bicycle Z5 May 2011

I purchased the bike directly from Felt Bicycles thanks to my friend he hooked it up and sent it to a Felt dealer, My local bike shop I chose was Tempe Bicycles, they’ve been around for year, knowledgeable staff and very accommodating and cool… Plus the guy working on my bike is into drifting and driving himself…
