Greeting from Minneapolis
Hello everybody
I've been riding ever since I was a little kid. I haven't been riding for awhile but decided it was time to hit the road again. I've owned all types of bikes, BMX and geared bikes as a child, full sups mtn in my 20 and early 30's and now road bikes, specifically a Surly SteamRoller. I'm interested in riding for health and economic reasons. Its my intention to build my life around biking again, as a main mode of transportation. I work in construction so its basically impossible to ride to work, I mean when was the last time you seen someone on a bike with their tool belt on carrying a skill saw and level,lols. Well I'm sure there are a lot of great people here with quite a bit of knowledge and advise, I look forward to conversing with everyone

Most cyclists love nothing more than a challenge.
