Introductions - Hi from a reformed climber in Toronto

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.

Hi everybody,

I have been riding to commute to work off an on for about seven years and previously ridden a bit of single track. I have started to ride a bit more seriously in the last couple years. In the last year I commuted year round and have started some distance riding as well. I am doing it largely for fun, to try to keep from getting fat, to replace my previously obssesive climbing habit, and to help out on the environmental front. I currently ride a TREK 820.

I ran accross the site this afternoon while searching for some bike gear and was favourably impressed by the thoughtful and courteous postings that I saw.

I am looking forward to lots of insightful future dialogue.

Hi Dave, do you commute year round, or is it a bit much in Toronto? We do have a Winter Cycling forum here, just for folks like yourself who reside in those snowy latitudes!

Welcome to BF, and feel free to PM me with any questions :) !
