Spoken like a true convert! I think one of the biggest "ah-ha" moments for new cyclists can be when they discover that, contrary to what they believe, big heavy bikes (mtn bike, comfort bikes) are not necessarily easier to ride (on the road)! I watched my hubby go through that.

Congratulations. Is ALC your next big ride?
