Yes, you fit in here, Caprice! I've only been a member of TE since April of this year and I've noticed the wide range of different kinds of cyclists on here. There's so much diversity and that's the great thing about this forum. I don't post a lot on TE because although I ride almost every day and I sometimes do very long rides, I am "technically challenged". I honestly don't know a thing about bikes but I come here for a lot of my answers.
And your husband is right - no question is stupid. When I first started cycling, I didn't know how to inflate my tires. I didn't know that I had to clean my bike There was so much I didn't know and I am still learning.
And don't feel bad if you don't get a response (or many responses) to a post. As you probably saw when you were searching, it's a pretty active forum so your question might just slip by. Like I said, I've only been on here since April but I have learned a ton from these women and they are a pretty friendly, welcoming crowd.
