My name is James, I live in Nebraska. It's pretty flat here. I commute to work about 3 miles each way, and I go home for lunch, so about 12 miles commuting a day. I use cycling to cross train for my running, and I log about 100-150 miles a week total with commuting and cross training. I run about 20-25 miles a week, but I started getting hurt, so to take some of the stress off of my feet/knees/ankles/hips I took up cycling. I ride a Trek 6000 mtb with narower, slicker tires on it to go faster. I average about 16-17 mph. Let's see.....what else...... I'm 33 years old, married, and have 4 kids. I have a road bike but it is too big for me so I don't ride it much. I'm currently looking for a smaller road bike, because I want to try road biking unstead of just riding a mtb on the road I also have a few beater bikes that rescued from the trash and fixed up. It's kind of a hobby for me.
