Well... congrats! I know I bought my road bike last October... on a *whim* of sorts, because I had it in my head that I wanted to compete in triathlon's!

And... I LOVE MY BIKE! I seriously stare at it... and just *dream* of the day when I can ride again... without knee pain!

Which leads me to this... make sure your bike is fitted right... and that you don't over train. Also, if you are going with clipless... don't even mess around with the cleats and all that... go straight for the SpeedPlay pedals. So much better than being clipped in one permanent spot!

So, best of luck... it's so cool riding a bike that makes you feel like the wind!
