Whats up eveyone.
Hey guys, I'm new here of course. I live in Florida. I just got a used bike for my birthday 2 months ago, and I have been using it this summer because my parents are at work all day and I want a way to get to and from my friends houses. I also do crew at my highschool, which is the most physically intense sport there is to take. But for the summer I need a way to stay in shape. I want to join here to meet other people, and to learn how to make the most of my bike and my experience as a biker.

Hi Jake, what kind of bike did you get? And what kind of riding do you do? Cyclocross is a pretty intense way to keep in shape, and triathlons can help too.

It's a Diamondback Wildwood Deluxe 2003, I have no idea if it is good or not, but I like it a lot. I do a lot of riding on the road through my town. There are some trails that I go on every so often.

I had one of those! It's reposing somewhere deep in a ravine nowadays...it's a long story. Anyway, it's not a top end bike, but it's not the bottom of the barrel either. When you do upgrade one of these days, you will find that it has made you enormously strong

Yeah, I love it, I have gotten to a point where I can skip a few traffic rules, and run some lights if no one is there, and I can usually beat my friends who are in cars.

Well, I live in and area where there is little traffic, only at peak hours, otherwise I can cross any street any time for the most part. Can you explain that sport that you told me about earlier, I checked out that part of the forums but I didn't really find anything that told me exactly what it was. Thanks so much.

Wikipedia is your friend:

It's a very strenous sport, although I don't know if you would be able to find any races where you live. You'd have to ask in the cyclocross forum.
