Hi gang,

I wanted to stop in and introduce myself. My name is Eric and although I've ridden BMX, and MTB in past years I am brand spanking new to the road bike scene, and was encouraged by my family (brother, father and mother who are all very seasoned cyclists) to pick up road biking to overcome the intense knee surgery I just recently had. My goal is to simply do some casual touring/commuting style of riding (I have no plans of racing) so I purchased a Mercier Kilo WT5. I am still in recovery from surgery so I haven’t even been able to sit on the new steed yet, but I am very excited.

Glad to be here, and I'm excited to get out and ride!

riding will make you better recovery, but be careful, good luck!
