New Albany, Indiana Newbie

I was recently inspired to get back into riding by a coworker who bikes to work everyday. I decided to get my old Target MTB and tried to ride it the last few weeks but the thing just kept breaking down. My wife was kind enough this last weekend to let me get a new hybrid bike. I picked up a Giant Escape 3. It was a nice entry level bike that seems to be a nice smooth ride with smoother shifting than my previous bikes. I've been tracking my rides using Cyclemeter for iPhone. I even made my own phone mount for it using an extra otterbox defender belt clip and an extra reflector. My goal is to add a mile every night.

And I hope this is okay but here are some photos of my bike.

Thanks for the welcome. Quick question that I tried to find the answer for using the search feature, is there an app for iphone that is compatible with this site? Something like Tapatalk?
