shallow-knowledge rider from DC area!
hey guys ... i know just enough to be dangerous.
a few years ago i completed one of the multi-state tours fundraiser rides. fortunately i had no major mechanical problems, so i still have lots to learn -- i still have yet to change a tire! im on a gary fisher zebrano and love it. i kept being told that i needed to be on a lighter bike but i certainly couldnt afford that! besides, this bike is really all i know..who says this bike is "heavy"? :) id been off the bike for about a year as my old job was over an hour away (driving) and left me little time to ride in off hours. im now at a job much more local and affords me to ride to work and some daylight. back in the saddle baby! working on getting husband more interested in riding... gotta get him a bike first though |
well welcome to the boards and glad your back to riding
we can help you on the riding but the husband thing might be a little difficult |
Bienvenue! Changing a tire is not difficult, and sure beats having to call a taxi when you get a flat.

Before I was allowed to drive on my own, I had to drive 1000 miles with my Dad and change a tire by myself four times. I suggest a similar route with bikes. Better to learn at home than out in a rainstorm. Some bike shops have basic bike maintenance classes, so you might want to look into that, too.
