I'm a new convert (addict?) to cycling, just signed on here and thought I'd say hello.
I started taking spin classes just for fitness in early fall and got hooked. After a few weeks I took my old, ratty 10-speed out on Saturday rides and soon, I was lusting after pretty bikes on the Web and thinking about what I might be able to do if I had a decent ride.
Last weekend I bought my first real "big girl" bike, a Gary Fisher Big Sur. I put slicker tires on it and saved the knobby ones for when my husband (who used to be an avid mtn biker and is now hoping I'll get into it) and I go out on hilly trails near the house. Only other modification is one of those cut-out seats that make a big difference in comfort!
So glad I found the TE Website and all of you. I'm looking forward to getting lots of great advice and ideas here.
And if any of you gals are from Alabama or nearby, speak up!
