As Newbie As You Can Get!

[jmh45]

the researching is a great place to start- it can be very intimidating to go into a bike shop and be a newbie and try to get good information from someone who has never been in your shoes- and probably never will be because they are built differently. I am one of those people who is built pretty low to the ground and not pencil thin- the good German genes-so when I first started looking it was hard to find a bike shop with a woman working there, much less a woman who I felt comfortable talking to- kinda like going into THE GAP at the mall and trying to find a pair of comfortable jeans when you are not built like the models the clothes are designed for.
i am glad you were able to find some information on that link- you could also check out the www.bentrideronline.com site- specifically for recumbents- very helpful-there is alot of good information about bike specs, different manufactures, prices, used bike for sale, etc... it is nice to get the female perspective on these message boards thoug- something that i could have appreciated when I was first getting into bikes- which wasn't all that long ago- in fact- one day while i was in a local bike shop i referred a girl who was in there to the team estrogen site after we started talking about how hard it is to find women specific stuff.
very cool to hear you are getting good info and keep on trying- keep me posted-
