My bike weighs a lot!


This is my bike!  I love the color.  It is my first road bike - a Trek Lexa SLX 2014!  I bought it gently used and have loved it.  

However, at the LAB yesterday, Jared had me lift my bike and then lift my friend Brenda's bike.  The difference in weight was crazy different.  I thought my bike was light, wrong.  It is super heavy compared to Brenda's bike.  Jared said that my bike is great for my training now because it will make me work harder, but eventually I'm going to need a new bike that is lighter.  Apparently I can get a good one for around $2000.

A lighter bike will allow me to ride faster (I hope) and farther and longer.  But will it come in such a pretty blue?
