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 Everyone. I have been reading the Bike Forum for a while and now I have finally gotten around to introduce myself. I have been commuting to work for about two years now. It has really helped my bad back (not sure if it is biking specific or just getting more exercise in general). My commute is about 9 miles each way. Being in California it is not difficult to bike year round.

I am still pretty slow and hills just kill me. But I hope to get better and do some more biking (not just for commute).

Hello David,

Welcome to Bike Forums.

Don't be concerned about slow, look for the fun.

I am having fun. But I should say that I want to get in better shape, which should means less pain, which would be even more fun.
