Hello all,

I have been reading for a while here now and hope someone can help me out. I've been a competive runner until my knees gave out a couple of years ago. I hopped on my son's Gary Fisher Aquila, and fell in love with riding. I'm 5'3" and he's 5'10". Yes, I was warned about having the correct fit, but I'm stubborn and had to wait until I was so dizzy from pinched nerves, that I could hardly walk, let alone ride a bike.

I had a CT scan that showed severe arthritis in my neck. I got an epidural steriod shot that worked immediately and I have no more pain. So...I have been bike shopping and am considering a Terry because they are designed for women and I will get the right size. I have learned my lesson...

Do any of you have this condition or any suggestions for a good road bike? I need to get my heart rate up there to really feel happy...
