Those of you who followed my blog already now that I ordered a pigeon blue Retrovelo Paula in December which just arrived a view weeks back. Due to lack of parking facilities in my house, it was parked in my boyfriend's apartment while it was still snowy and icy out there (in such situations I rather stick to my old mountain bike of which I know how it behaves) or I was out of town. Finally, yesterday, I took Paula for a ride around town. Here are some impressions of her first glance at Vienna (more are on my flickr album):
Paula in the corridor
Paula being carried three floors downstairs by me
Paula on the Gürtel bike path
Paula in the office (showing off :))
Paula near Augarten (happily moving in the rain)

Cool, you're finally riding it! I cannot believe the image of you carrying the bike 3 stories down the spiral staircase!!!
So where will you keep it from now on? I will be glad to keep it in my flat for you... : )
Yeah, she's just so easy to ride, although I have to get used to the gears first.
Currently I keep her in my boyfriend's house in the garbage room. I have seen that other bikes are also parked there, and I hope that it's obvious that a brandnew bicycle with an expensive U-lock is not ment for recycling :).
Great, fun collection of pictures! The blue color frame with the cream balloon tires is so yummmmy.
Excellent! Isn't the more upright position nice? Also, I like the pic with the blurred path. Have fun!
Such a sweet bike! I love the fat cream tires :D
What a beautiful bicycle, you must be so HAPPY!
Down 3 flights beats going UP 3 flights of stairs! But then again I suppose you had to carry it up those first? No lifts/elevators?
Gorgeous bike, Enjoy the Ride.

Beautiful, beautiful bike! I hope you have many happy kilometres on her!
Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. I'll pass them on to my lovely new steed :).
@ 2whls3spds: No elevator in that house, and usually they would be too small for Paula anyhow :(.
Beautiful bike - that blue is gorgeous!
a very elegant machine, and what a nice shade of blue!
Gorgeous bike! I am very close to getting a Paula as well but wanted to ask what your thoughts are after two years? Is the bike holding up? Rust/ paint/ brakes/ problems?
Also do you like the Shimano Nexus 7 gears? I am trying to decide between 7 and 8!
Thank you !!!

You must have often heard that to appeal to search engines and for effective optimisation for search engines your website require a lot of text content. That is true; however, when it comes to actual visitors who might convert to customers, you require a website that has a high quality portfolio of products to sell. 360 car photography
