If you are looking for something more specific, let me know.
Yeah I'm not too far from red bank (about a 12 minute drive) I just haven't really ridden a lot in New Jersey. When I was younger I used to BMX to friends houses etc, and I picked up riding last year when I went to school and ended up spending a lot of my summer helping take care of my sick grandma so I didn't ride too much around here, but when I did I was riding a hybrid bike which pretty much let me ride wherever so i was just looking on some advice for nicer roads and stuff.

I'll be back in jersey full time after graduation in May, I'll be destroying the jersey shore with my friends all summer. Biking by the shore is where its at
I actually checked out shrewsbury cycles today because I had actually bought some lights and reflectors from them last year and remembered looking like a solid place but I didn't notice anything really fixed specific or anything. I didn't talk to any body though. I'll definitely give it another try and ask to talk to scott. If you see a red Nishiki Century conversion around the shore this summer that'll be me.
