Hello from Los Angeles!

Hi guys. I'm a long time lurker who recently figured the cheapest way to learn and get into cycling was to flip bikes. I'm mostly focused on vintage because that's all I can afford atm but also I quite like the look of them. I'm a short rider so finding a bike my size is often a pain in the used market. I wouldn't call myself a cyclist as I'm a late learner and I have yet to get over my fear of riding in traffic! For now I'll call myself a cycling fan.

Hello and welcome from NorCal! It takes a bit of time to get used to it. If you have paved bike trails I found it really feels safer. Then move onto getting to your destination via neighborhoods vs regularly traveled streets. Good luck!
