I am looking into getting a road bike, and while I am doing some online research to learn more about what I should be looking for, etc, I am also going to try to go to different bike shops, talk to people, etc and obviously try some out so I can get the right fit for me. If there are any Northern Virginia riders here (DC-area in general, though I live in Fairfax) that could give some suggestions, I'd appreciate it! I only know of Performance Bikes and Revolution Cycles- and I sort of get an elitist vibe from Revolution Cycles, but they sell a couple of the bikes I would like to try out. I just don't want to walk in there and have them laugh me out of the place because I'm a total newbie at this. I'm not unathletic or anything; I used to be a dancer, and I do yoga, and rock-climb and hike, etc- and I have a hybrid that I got for cheap because I wanted something to pedal until I could afford a road bike. But I'm definitely not the totally ripped chicks that you see in those stores! Anyone have any other suggestions of good places beside those two? I'll probably suck it up and go to Revolution Cycles, but I definitely want to check out more than one place.
