Hi Jon, a lot of people emerging from the woodwork lately. Perhaps it's the cheerful greeting everyone gets, eh 
?
So, what road bike did you get?
Photos?
Welcome to BF!

I Jon and welcome.
Do you ride with the Pecan City Pedalers?
Stop by the Southeast regional subforum and say hello.

hey thanks for the welcome. the bike i got is a Diamondback, the cheapest one, lol:
i took it out sunday for a 20 mile ride and its a lot easier than the old mountain bike with slicks. i was expecting a rough ride, but i think the big diameter wheels take the bumps really good.
i know of the pecan city pedalers. i plan to do the nut roll later on in the year.

The Electra Townie can be ridden that way, but not nearly as fast as I would like. It's a great bike if you have back and neck problems (and once you get the saddle dialed in ), but it's not exactly a speed machine!

Changing hand positions on the drop bars will help keep your hands from getting numb. The mirror is a great idea. I have one on my helmet, and am so used to having it that I feel odd when out walking because I miss being able to see behind me
. Seriously!East Hill
