Bikes, Bikes and More Bikes! Yikes!

I have recently acquired a bicycle from a friend.  This was a very nice gift and I have tried to get back into riding.  I am taking it slow but staying with it.  I don't ride far yet.  I plan on using it for getting to the store and going to places close by.  I would love it if I could use it for everything.  This would help in saving money.  The gas money that I would  save can be used for something more necessary.  I'm not sure what but there are always things that come up.

The picture below is of my old bike, I have a new bike and now I have too many bikes.  I am going to put two bikes up for sale and hope to get a decent price for them.  That would be a big help.  Possibly

My old Trek 3700 WSD

save it for a rainy day.  So this is what I have been doing lately.  My new bike doesn't have disk brakes or anything special.  It's just a nice bike.  It's nice to have something my size for more control.  My old bike is too big for me.  It was sold to me that way because the person just wanted to make a sale.  Now I have been fitted to the new bicycle.  It's much better.  Saying goodbye to the old bike, which I still like but have no need for.

Share your experience below.  I would love to hear about it.  Basically, bicycling is for everyone.
