New guy from New England
Hi everyone,
I was recently given an old Bianchi 10 speed bike which I plan on using to commute back and forth to work. It’s my first bike (as an adult) and I wanted to join a forum so I can learn more about riding and maintaining it. It rides really nice so I plan on racking up the mileage so long as the weather holds out. Any tips for beginners would be appreciated!
