The three-week tour of the States were really taxing to our bodies both physically and mentally. Now, we are heading back to Shanghai; I am currently 30,000 ft in the air crossing the Pacific Ocean. Have to apologize if I did not call everyone to say Hi. I didn't have a chance with all the activities and visits.
This trip really costed lots. We got custom bikes in Boston from Fit WRX. It's a bike shop specializing in road racing bikes. I could not believe how much money you can spend. But in the end, there is a bike that fits your body totally. A fitting session is about 2.5 hours. Your body was measured not just the inseam but also your thigh length, your ankle rotations, your walking style, your flexibility, your shoe size, our sitting position, your reach to the handle bar; then to put thing together, there was a computerized power analysis machine seeing how the bike will provide best power. Too technical. But should last.
Through out the travel - air travel that was the last 3 weeks. Sucked in US. Chaotic, messy. I just didn't like it. Canada makes US looking really good! We flew AA from Boston back to SFO. Was surprise on the service. Good, friendly flight attendants. Movies for the 6 hours plus flight. Liquid O plentiful. Compared to United Airline I flew before or NW, I was shock. All those major city airports, they sucked! Signs, at times comparable to India's Ghandi International airport. Vacnouver's International Airport just flows nicely. Seattle and SFO, both too old and not user-friendly. Misleading signs, long queue for taxi to name a few. The GPS I rented with my rental car really helped in navigation. When I had to second guess with the signs and myself, the GPS took over telling me exactly what's what. Get one next time in California or East Coast.
