Welcome to both of you. I've just been around a couple months and have found this group to be very friendly and helpful.

Oh, and congrats on the new bike! I finally got me a real bike (Cannondale Quik 5) this past November for my birthday after riding my Wally World bike for about 6 mos. I'm totally hooked! I also had to adjust to the newer skinny tires, but I'm used to them now and feel very comfortable on them. You'll definitely feel the bumps more on a road bike, though!
