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.velocanman

Hello, all. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.
I am an avid road and MTB rider and sometimes racer in northwest Florida. I've been riding for about 20 years. I am a mechanical engineer by trade and enjoy the tinkering and repair aspects, and helping friends continue a ride after a minor mechanical.
I also provide dynamic bike fit analysis using digital video, stationary or on-the-road video, and the Kinovea software application. I don't compete with the pros and bikes shops but like to help friends dial in their position.
I recently published a book on road bike skills development entitled Watch Your Line: Techniques to Improve Road Cycling skills. It is available in print and Kindle on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Watch-Your-Line-Second-Techniques/dp/1463517629/), through iTunes for Apple, and at Roadbikerider.com (http://www.roadbikerider.com/e-books/watch-your-line) in downloadable full-color PDF. I wrote the attached short article that summarizes some key points in the book. I hope you find it useful and I look forward to feedback and spirited discussion.
I'm glad to find another great cycling forum in bikeforums.net. I've been a long-time member of roadbikereview.com (http://forums.roadbikereview.com/#classic-forums) forums and look forward to great discussions here, as well.
Cheers,
Alan
