Just giving it a shot..
Hello, My name is Tom and I am a runner for a college here in Indianapolis. I was injured last fall and ended up going through a lateral release procedure.
I have had some trouble getting back into running because I am so far out of shape. My idea was that if I purchased a bike it would help me get some movement back into my knee along with help me to improve my fitness. I've been biking for about two weeks now on my brand new Bianchi Virata (05?). I had biked last summer in addition to my higher mileage weeks to further improve my fitness and loved it. I figured if I liked biking on that crappy old bike then I would love it on a newer bike. So I dove right in.
Right now, I've been kinda struggling to find places to ride on the western side of town. I also don't know much of anything about biking. So my riding time has been limited to 45-60 min ~5 times a week.
I just wanted to stop by and say hello and that I look forward to learning more!
