New cyclist here
 

Hey, my name's Nico. I just got a bike after not biking for ~10 years, since I was a kid. Originally it was to shorten the time it took to get to work and classes, but I'm hoping for it to also be a hobby and good exercise.

Welcome to Bike Forums. Glad you joined us. What bike did you get?

Welcome to Bike forums Nico! Where do you ride?

Thanks for the welcomes. I got a Schwinn hybrid 28" (not sure if there are more specifics, I don't know much about bikes). I'm in Bloomington IN, which is a sort of small town but kind of crowded because of the big college. Luckily there are a lot of bike lanes around campus, because I'm a little confused about riding on the road.

Welcome!! You'll get used to being a part of the cycling community all over again. Just take your time getting to know the bike lanes and soon you will feel comfortable venturing out into the roads.
