Nanci, I know what you mean about the cotton tee. I have only been riding for a few weeks and I need to go shopping. I only ride about an hour at most at this point but in a month..look out! HOT!...
Bright colored cotton tee shirts for visibility. padded bike shorts, gloves, helmet. One of these days I will get some appropriate tops that wick the moisture, etc.
What did I miss?

I learn so much here! "lube"?? Vaseline? I will search the archives.
GLC, fig newtons aren't bad unless you eat them by the bag! zero fat!

I thought about it! It rained all day Saturday and Sunday was not any better. But today.......................;)
Barb, how awful for you and that guy! Hope all is well...
Keep on! sounds like you already have a plan. Two years is a ways off. You can get there! My motto? "One day at a time!" with anything!!
Me too! But my purpose for riding my bike more this summer/fall has to do with workout/fitness routine boredom. I want to get some mid-life weight off, faster, and also this adds to my indoor...
I just bought a cateye yesterday. Can't wait to see how it works! Hubby installing it along with my new "slicks" (love that term!) Just put the new tires next to the knubbies on the bike (mtn) I...
Oh great. I ran out of my bananas Monday! Sure hope I don't cramp up tonight....
Pilates class and then an 8 mile ride. 1/2 in a horrid head wind. Thought I was going to die! BUT I pushed through it. Fortunately, I live in the rural world. My "route is two miles up, two miles...
Thanks Denise, I will look for some shoes. Not too many around here.......all seem to be men's shoes. hmmmm??

Anyone try these? They are only $29.50. I am looking for a decent shoe for this "recreational" rider. I have the pedal cages and I need a shoe that will slide in and out easily. My Sketchers are...
I think I borrowed my neighbors' bike. We had a yard that had a small slope/hill that was by our driveway. I would get on her bike and roll down that hill and when I would get to the end of my...
Trek 6000. I bought it because it was cool! Has never seen a mountain! I used it on the Katy Trail in MO a lot. I am a recreational cyclist. Been riding this on pavement lately, that is when the...
A few years ago a man assaulted a jogger on the Katy Trail....in Missouri. She was alone, jogging..Trail is a bike trail along RR tracks through wooded areas that goes across the State. Another...
I took a peak at the current Bicyclng magazine and also felt that it was Male oriented. I am a not a racer, etc. Just a rider that wants fitness and excercise out of the rides. I will check out...
CorsairMac, thanks for the great encouragement. LOVE your city!! I spend my anniversary weekend there last June. Wonderful!! Could not even think about biking up the Turq Trail tho!! Tourist,...
I used to live about 45 minutes from there (Ballwin)and rode my mtn bike on it often...I miss it! Now I am in the cornfields of Illinois. I must visit KT soon!

CorsairMac, thanks for the tip...never even thought of changing out the tires on the Mtn bike...cheaper than a new one at this time. I will look into it!
Sandy
Tuckerville, I have been riding the bike; it has not been sitting idle...I have "committed" but I understand where you are coming from. Thanks for the support. It makes sense to figure out "where"...
Newbie here,.....Ok, I want to commit this year to bike riding...thinking of selling my Trek 6000 mountain bike (never seen a mountain!!) and getting a hybrid or road bike.
What magazines do you...
Hello! New here!
I have a Trek 6000 mountain bike that I would love to sell and purchase the Trek 7500 which I test rode this afternoon on my lunch break. Loved the upright position....middled...
