Hello all,

I just moved to Chicago and with the weather getting nice I've decided I want to get into cycling. I've never cycled seriously (I'm only 23), so this is definitely a new experience. This board was extremely helpful in trying to figure out what to buy, and yesterday I went out and got a Trek 7.2 FX to start out. I'm looking forward to the long rides up and down Lake Michigan and hopefully getting involved into some of the organized rides around the city. I'm still learning little by little about parts and maintenance and technique and all sorts of fun things, and I'm hoping this turns into a life-long activity.
