Hi All,
I've been reading these forums for a few weeks now trying to decide which bike to get and finally picked up a Giant FCR-1 for some fitness riding. I have a fairly common cycling background. I've had several mountain bikes, hybrids over the years but none of them were what I'm looking for. I had a 10 speed in college that I absolutely loved and rode everywhere from work to school, etc. I wanted that same ease of riding at a quick pace but also more ergonomically friendly. I think I've found it in the Giant FCR-1.
My reason for wanting to get into cycling again; I love anything with two wheels. I've put over 200k miles on my motorcycles and decided I need to do some of the work and get in shape and improve my overall health. Cycling used to help me with my stress levels so I'm hoping to gain the same.
