Hello folks,

Thanks for taking the time to read this... I'm so glad that I found this website and forum!

I just moved into the city from the beach and had only ridden my faithful beach cruiser in a relaxed manner before getting here in the DC area (I already sold the cruiser). When I got here a couple of weeks ago, I've been able to borrow my brother's new Kona cyclocross bike and experience speed and power for the first time. NOW I realize why the bike world is so fascinating and exciting beyond casual cruising around. I'm shopping for my budget starter bike now, and I look forward to working my way up in knowledge and experience.
