I'm starting to relate to the comments about mental health and spending much time on the trainer. 3-4 hours would be really tough. And I think I have a better idea about what base training is now and...

I'm relatively new to cycling, bought a bike early last spring and got up to 30-40 mile rides over the summer. I didn't do much over the fall and got a trainer to get some training in over the...

I recently checked out the book "Bike for Life" by Wallack and Katovsky from the library. I'm only on the third chapter but so far it seems to be well worth it and I think I'll go find a copy to...

I just went through the bike buying experience a few months ago as I'm new to the sport too - and it is addictive. So here's my experience/advice.

My price range was about the same although I...

Fujichants, you can find a course like this by going to www.bikeleague.org; they have courses and instructors listed and you can search by state to find and instructor near you and contact them about...

Does anyone have advice on how to improve bike handling skills?

I took a Road I course and it was great. I really enjoyed the on-bike bike handling skills like looking back and identifying...

My first bike was a pile of rust that had been sitting in a neighbor's backyard for several years, left by whomever the previous renter of their house was. They gave it to us when I was 4 and I...

OakLeaf - I can't really say whether or not the cough happens in the same season as my allergies as this is the first time I've experienced the cough after riding - just getting back into bike riding...

I don't have asthma (that I know of) I do have mild allergies to something that comes out in the Spring with increased symptoms the past few years - runny nose and itchy eyes but is not bad and...

What a timely discussion...I'm going to a BikeLeague Road I class tomorrow.

I've recently gotten back into cycling after a break from my early 20's to my late 30's - not uncommon on this board it...

Welcome to the forum, I'm new here myself and found that its a great source of information and encouragement!

Do not, in any way, be embarrassed about being larger and cycling. I think when most...

I had to chime in because I just got home from a ride where I had my first flat in years - I'm just getting back into riding. Oddly, I decided to stop and check my tires for no particular reason and...

Thanks for all the advice! This forum is great.

I think the first thing I need to do is bring a sports drink/electrolyte replacement (which I now remember has done a great job of keeping me...

I'm pretty new here, just bought my bike a month ago and have taken a few 15-20 mile rides.

I pushed myself the other day and rode over 30 miles, but the last 7 or so weren't so pleasant. I was...

Definitely go for the clipless pedals right away. I bought a pair for my mountain bike years ago but was afraid I'd be trapped in them and crash, so I never put them on. :o When I bought my first...

Thanks for all the encouragement and advice! I followed the link to bikeleague and the Road I course looks like an excellent idea - for both of us hopefully. I know I wasn't exactly a defensive or...

I have what I think is a unique problem. My husband used to be an avid runner and cyclist (recreational level) until he got hit by a car - broad-sided by a left turner when he was riding downhill at...
