Hello from Allen TX
I've been cycling for about 6 months mostly on a Trek 7.3 FX. After some encouragement my wife has taken up the adventure as well. She rides a Trek 7.3 FX in ladies but not the swoop frame. It is a lot of fun especially when we ride together.
Got more adventurous and bought a Trek Crockett 5. That is an incredible machine.
We are very fortunate to have a dedicated bike/jog/walking trail 1 minute from my front door. Getting and staying in shape has never been so much fun.
Anyway, it is nice to find this forum.
