Nice to be riding again

Hello,

I've ridden since I was a little kid and had a lot of fun riding around Brooklyn and Manhattan when I moved to NYC in 2003. Motorcycle riding and a lot of walking with my dog are to blame for my non-usage of my bicycle the last couple years, but I dug it out and pumped up the tires last weekend. It felt good to be back in the saddle even though the old thing wasn't in tip-top condition. I left it in the very capable hands of 718 Cyclery in Park Slope at the end of my ride for a tune-up and am heading back to their shop to pick it up tomorrow. Looking forward to starting to ride to work (about 8 miles each way) and around my neighborhood to see friends, run errands, etc.

I'll have gear, technique, and route suggestion questions as I go (and hopefully some stories and tips as well), so...thought it worth joining the forum.

Nice to meet everyone, looking forward to joining some discussions.

Welcome to the Forums. Lots of good advice to be found within these four walls. Wait, how many walls does a forum have anyway?
