Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.NoRacer

I go by NoRacer.
I'm a runner that is rehab'ing on a bike, but I've enjoyed riding bicycles all of my life.
Currently, I'm 47 years of age. Male.
I'm fit for my age, having run some road races, but I've not ridden in any bike races, nor do I Tri.
My average speed on my K2 Comfort bike is usually between 14-15 MPH, but I've had it as high as 40 MPH on a long downhill while in an 'aero' position.
Quite often, I'll bike for a couple hours a day and maybe 4 hours on one of the weekend days (60 miles) mostly on the roads, but sometimes on rail-to-trail trails. I prefer roads, though.
With gas prices climbing on the eastern seaboard, I'll be commuting to and from work (10 miles each way). I did so, this morning, with a 20 pound backpack of clothing, but with a little more planning, I think I can leave the backpack home.
Thanks for the forum. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute to the knowledge base in some fashion.
