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

My first road bike came in!

Somehow it came two weeks early and I picked it up today and it feels amazing!
It is a 2014 Giant Defy 2 and I will post pictures soon-ish.
Thanks for all the help from anyone who answered one or some of my many questions on my quest.

Congrats!

And we want pics now-ish rather than soon-ish. Unless, of course, you are busy riding your new bici!

Okay a few things.................thanks for the pics. and enjoy the ride and be safe. Now take off that plastic dork shield on the cassette and remove the reflectors because it screams ...................."Look AT Me!" Be incognito and yet seen!

But once again welcome to the world of cycling friend!
