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

i'm in my first two months after swaping from mtb's to road bikes. i have gotten a univega and two fuji absolutes for ten a piece at yard sales. i am quickly wanting to get more into it and feel that i should decide soon if i want to upgrade the fuji or go with a new bike. money is an option.

You got three bikes for 10 bucks? If they're still good, ride them till the wheels fall off. If it turns out you don't like cycling, then you haven't wasted a bunch of money.

If you've got the cash, and can get a new bike at a sizeable discount, the sky's the limit.
