I didn't get home until late so I had to wait until this morning to open it.
Inside the box was a tangle of tubes, all wrapped in bubblewrap and foam packaging.
I pulled it out of the box in the garage, put on the seat and handlebars . . . 
unfolded it . . .
and there she is. I named her LuLu after the friend I lost recently (a great suggestion from Paid in Chickens, thank you very much!). And she even came with a bell.
"You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So . . . get on your way!"
Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go
Have fun riding :-)
