Newbie from Kentucky
Hello I am new to the cycling world, had my bike about a month. Been cold, and have only got to put about 150 miles on my bike. I also have a mountain bike, and love them both. Getting used to cleats, clipping, and unclipping is maybe the hardest thing I am dealing with.
anyways here is my bike after I put my carbon wheels and tubular tires on it..

Doing the Redbud Ride this spring. Always fun if it's not pouring.

In America things move fast I guess? Having trouble clipping in but no trouble in the decision to invest in carbon wheels and tubulars? Best of luck, guy.

My carbon wheels and tubulars came in at 500.00, which I almost paid for by selling the wheels that came on my bike
They also shaved a pound(.453kg) of turning weight...

The forecast looks great! I'll be on a yellow recumbent, unless I change my mind at the last minute and ride my Lemond.
