Good for you for getting used to the clipless pedals from the get-go. You will be extremely happy with your decision. Treks are awesome bikes and you will put a lot of miles on your bike because you will like riding it so much.

Hi all, just started cycling and I'm bruised, but happy! I have a 2010 52cm Trek WSD 1.2 named appropriately "Bruiser" since I fell twice after learning to clip in.
I hope to learn a lot from the gals here!

Very happy! I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I'd be doing this! My bf (an avid cyclist) got me setup and we now ride 4 mornings a week... 10 miles on Fridays and Mondays, and 20 miles on Saturdays and Sundays. I can't wait to do my first half century!
If we lived closer to each other (mine is at his place), I'd be on the bike every day of the week!

Hello and welcome!
Could you have a bike at your place too, eventually? It seems a shame to have your legs in one place and your bike in another

That was totally my justification for having 2.. or really 4 bikes. 1 road bike & mountain bike at the BF's & 1 at my house.

Yeah, that's what started my downward spiral into owning about 10...

I'm at 6, 'cause in addition to the 2 of each, I need an errand/touring bike, and then I have this project mixte that I really should just sell.

Congratulations, and welcome! Have you ridden before now, or is this the first time that you have ever ridden?
I second (third? fourth?) the idea of another bike for your home so that your legs are never too far from a bike
