It's amazing the difference a bike can make. When I originally posted this, I'd tried out several bikes and I felt so unsteady on all. I was so frustrated. Then I went to Performance Bike and test...

Picked up my bike yesterday. Spent today trying to get over my fear of mounting/dismounting now that I have a saddle that is the correct height (otherwise known as really high!). It came with...

So, after several months of searching, I finally found my first road bike. It's nothing flashy--a Scattante W-570. It's the first bike I've felt comfortable on right when I got on it. The guy...

Thanks, guys. I hadn't seen that forum for the area-specific info. I just wrote a post there.

I recently moved from Chicago to Temple, TX am looking for both my new LBS and a bike fitter. I'm willing to go to Waco, or even Austin if necessary. Any recommendations on somewhere/someone that...

This may sound like a silly question, but when applying handlebar tape
that is perforated on one half and not on the other, which side goes
on top as you wrap (if that makes sense)?

This may seem like a silly question, but how do I go about finding a bike fitter in my area? I'm new here and I don't know who is credible or where to even begin to look.

So, as my previous post mentioned, I've been trying to transition to a road bike from a comfort bike. I went for a short ride today (3 miles, but the longest I've done on this bike so far) and my...

I have one! I got the ankle one because of the material and it is very soft and comfortable.

Thanks, Ladies. I really hope that riding again will help. Last time I saw the doc he said I can do whatever doesn't hurt. Nice. I do also have exercise induced asthma, so I use the inhaler...

Thanks everyone. I guess I'm going to have to drive a good ways to find another bike shop. I'm in the middle of nowhere Texas and the LBS is the ONLY LBS around. And the one 30 minutes away is the...

I've been riding off and on for a few years now ever since training to participate in the AIDS/LifeCycle event in 2008. I had an open lung biopsy in February to determine the cause of my breathing...

I've ridden a Trek Navigator for the past few years. My Navigator is too big for me, but I've managed. Off and on I've tried road bikes, but I've never been able to feel steady on them. I'm not...

I wasn't sure where else to put this, but I haven't been riding long, so this seemed a safe place. Can anyone tell me how bar end shifters are used? I can't seem to find a demo or written...
