Yep, I'm a new rider, with one winter bike and one road bike. Got a pretty slow start, but can see how this could turn into a habit. Looking forward to it all!

Hello sambo--you must be hardcore if you've got a winter bike already. Where are you located, and what kind of bikes have you got?

Welcome to BF!

Hello East Hill,
I have a couple hand-me-downs. One is a garage sale special that I rat around in when it's cold and wet, and the other is an OCR1. I live in the Northeast where if you had to pick a good day to ride, you'd spend a lot of time indoors, so no "hardcore" here! I really just love discovering things about myself and life in general when I ride. It's a real education.

A garage sale special--those are always interesting!

Do you take photos of your discoveries?

Yes, actually, I do. Sometimes they turn out pretty well, but sometimes the beauty is lost in the digital translation!

Hmm. There is an ongoing Art Thread in the BMX forum...just sayin'

Yeah, I frustrated myself trying to get over there, but didn't quite find it. Will try again later, and thanks for the heads up!

"Hello, my name is Sambo, and I'm a bikaholic." :D


Yup, it's habit forming. Welcome to the forums! :)

We do tend to wander all over the place in the thread, but there's some nice stuff in there, if you'd care to add to it :) .

Interesting... Are the definitions the same as other "oholics"? It takes over your life, ruins relationships, etc?

Well, we don't like to think it will ruin relationships, but it probably will take over your life...at least it gets you out into the fresh air, unlike so many other addictions :) .
