Bike comparison

Last night I rode my new bike home from work, and then went out for groceries on my old bike (which, at this point, is the only one with a basket). It felt like it was broken or something -- as if someone had bent the frame all out of shape. I guess it's kind of like trying to jump after getting off a trampoline and feeling like you're tethered to the ground. Part of it is just that it's different, but it also drove home how much more I like the way my new bike rides...
