decided i was done looking in from the outside on this forum(felt like a wallflower) and say hey-
i recently moved to philadelphia, and as convenient as it was to use public transportation to get around, it really wasn't- so- i decided to pick up my first bike since i was 8 years old(23 now) and start kicking my oil addiction-
i was lucky enough to have found a used '06 black surly cross check(pics to come) thanks to craigslist- and as far as i can tell it's a perfect match- :)
it makes me wonder why i walked everywhere i did and didn't get a bike sooner-
anyhow-
i decided i'd post here first instead of anywhere else b/c i feel most at home here- i'm certainly no road racing athlete...yet, and i'm no fixed gear hipster...yet, and i'm not a cyclocross addict...yet either, but i think everyone here likes to have fun on and off the pavement and that's what i like too-
so hey, new to the scene, gonna have lots of questions- please don't hate :(
