I'd like to start cycling, but I need some help!
I've always been athletic (running, mountain climbing, and various team sports), I'm very competitive and I've always wanted to learn more about cycling, but I've never owned anything more than a ten-speed and that's when I was a kid. Where can I go to learn more about cycling? What's the best way to get myself in shape before I even begin? My b/friend is an avid cyclist, but he's of no help at all. His words: "I don't know if you have what it takes." Wanna help me have him eat his words? I think he's hungry! Thank you for any advice you can offer! Kim
