Glad to see there are other newbies out there enjoying riding as much as I am. I started training for my first tri a few weeks ago and a friend lent me her first road bike to get started... aside from the bike being too small, it was a great way for me to get acquainted with cycling--I hadn't been on a road bike since my Huffy Omni 10 was stolen in 1984!
I discovered quickly cycling is my favorite of the three sports and decided to invest my own ride... bought a Giant Avail with the upgraded components on mega sale today and finally got my own shoes with clips--no more sneakers!
Anyways, just wanted to share, I'm pretty excited I found something fitness oriented I like this much
