Hi! My dad got big into biking when I was in high school sometime. He does the lots of spandex, super-lightweight carbon kind of stuff. When I was 17 I needed a PE credit and so spent a summer training with him and did a 60-mile ride at the end. Honestly, I hated every minute of it! In college I had a bike that I rode around sometimes, but I was mostly in pretty bad shape. I spent my summers working in the warehouse of the bike parts dotcom my dad runs, though, and this summer, after my graduation, I asked for a new bike for my birthday (steel frame, fenders, rack...). I started riding it on errands, then to work (9 miles each way)... felt better and better each time. Soon I was biking 25+ miles a day just to get around town. Now I'm selling my car. Still don't like spandex, though. 
Oh, and I have a blog here: https://log.whyiamnotdying.net
I just got back from seven weeks bumming around Europe, though, so that's what's up there most recently.

Hi stacia! I actually said hi to you over in Living Car Free, but that won't stop me from saying hi again

You don't really need spandex, except for really long trips where it does come in nice.
Welcome (again) to BF!
