This and another post...somewhere on here...have helped me decide that I'll probably get a road bike with aero bars, rather than a tri bike. I'm not a serious competitor, and I do want to be able to ride it on the road. Thanks, ladies. I've learned a lot, and I haven't even been to the LBS yet! (BTW, am I the only one who reads LBS as "pounds" when it's written "lbs"?!? ) L.
