Greetings all,

I'm in Minneapolis. A 43 year old, overweight guy that is ready to hit the road again on a new cycle. I have not had a bicycle for nearly 20 years.

I'm very excited about buying a new bike, but I do have some concerns, which I'll address in the appropriate forums.

I have read that all things being equal, Minneapolis is the number 2 most bike riding city in the country. I can believe it, I see people riding their bikes here thru 2 feet of snow!

Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say and will chip in where I can!

T
