Runner getting into biking
Brooklyn Runner who recently bought a 2006 Felt carbon bike. Looking to cross train on it and eventually complete tris.
I know TONS about running but very littler about biking.

Welcome.
Pros:
You already know how to suffer
Your cardio conditioning is probably great
You've dealt with dogs
You're accustomed to spending too much money on shoes and special clothing
Cons:
Your cycling muscles aren't on par with your cardio. Beware of overdoing it at first.
Ditto for your butt
Shoes and clothing are just accessories
Some new phrases you'll want to learn are:
Road rash
Saddle sore
Chamois butter
Enjoy.
