Intro--I just bought my first bike since I was in grade school...I just turned 31 so that was a long time ago! I work with a guy who rides to work daily unless the snow gets in the way...and sometimes he doesn't let that stop him either. He is 62, so I figured I could do it too. I wanted to do something that would get me out of the house and active. The trail system in the area is excellent and I always loved riding when I was younger so I figured I would like it now. I am hoping to love it and get involved in some bike clubs and do some longer rides as I get used to it. I bought a Trek FX 7.5 WSD, I love it and I've only ridden around in my driveway. I am waiting for it to get a little warmer to ride around the neighborhood.
Here is my question...what sort of clothing do you all recommend and where should I buy it? I already have a helmet of course, and want to get some gloves. I bought some padded knickers (I think they are called). I want to get some jerseys and a nice jacket to wear so I can get out there sooner.
I am so excited to be here though!!!
