Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hi folks,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 33 year old husband and father of two (four and 19 month old). I was as serious a roadie as I could be, work permitting, a couple years back. I've started riding again the past couple of months and ran across this site; not hard to find since I searched "bike forums!"

I'm trying to ride five times a week, @ 40 minutes at a time. It's nice to be on a bike, again. I look forward to enjoying the site. Thanks.

Thank you both. I've found the "search" function to be a handy tool!

What!!!!!!**********?? A n00b who used the search function? I don't believe it. If it were true you would know that introductions have a separate forum.

**Teasing, welcome to the forums**

its easy to find out who are the nice guys, the jerks, and the goofballs, and the trolls that show up every once in a while have fun.

Welcome to the forums, I absolutely love it here, its probably one of the best web comunities i've ever been a part of.

There are a lot of great people here and there is probably 300years worth of knowledge between a lot of the more experienced guys/girls that post.

Glad to have another one.

also, you'll have to post some pics of your ride....sort of a rite of passage
