New to Cycling - Need Advice

[ehirsch83]

Hi FitFreak!
I live in your area and if you want help on local LBS's feel free to PM me. It is great that you are getting into cycling, it is tons of fun!
Once you get a bike and get comfortable on it, a great ride to start with is the Sheena Ride out of Downtown Bicycles on Wed. mornings(leaves the shop at 6am)(if you are in the Ft.Lauderdale area, if you are in Miami or Boca can help you find other rides). It is a no-drop ride meant for those who are just starting out, and a lot of other more experienced riders join in so it is a great group and great place to learn! Everyone usually goes to Starbucks afterwards for coffee and chit chat:-)

So glad to see another SF women on TE finally!

Welcome

While I am not a woman I am a physician with many female patients who are very active athletes at all levels. While obviously not eligible for the "Sheena Ride" I felt compelled to let everyone know how impressed I was with Sheena herself, assuming she is the one that fitted my bike at Downtown. Her professionalism is unmatched. I have literally bought $80,000 automobiles with less involvement from the dealer. She took at least a half-hour fitting my bike and even gave a lot of "insider tips" way above and beyond any other $2,000 purchase I have ever made.
