Hello everyone. I happened upon this website when I was surfing around online.
So here's the story...My best friend (a guy) has been road biking for about a year or so and is pretty good. He has it in his blood (his dad is one of the best cyclists in town and he is over 50). Anyways, he has been trying to get me on a bike since he got his first roadbike.
He finally borrowed one for me from the bike shop where he works. Basically I fell in love! We only rode about 12 miles (I had to stop b/c my butt was so sore!), but I had so much fun. Never knew a decent bike could make such a difference. I am going to buy the one I tried out very soon (it happens to be the cheapest one in the store, which is the only one to fit my college student budget).
So, anyway, I just thought I would ask you all for your most valuable tidbits of roadbiking knowledge. Anything you think a beginning roadbiker should know. THANKS! :)
