New from ATL

Just what it says. I'm Brian. I'm 24 and recently graduated from college with the ultimate white person degree, Bachelor of Fine Arts (https://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008...-arts-degrees/) in Mass Media with emphasis on video production. I have been running for a number of years and started to think that maybe being a man on a machine would be more fun. I recently (as in 2 days ago) picked up a Fuji road bike that had been laying around my parents house and just started riding round the city. It belongs to my sister, but she is pregnant so she won't be using it for a few months. I guess that will give me some time to research what kind of bike I want to get. I have been lurking around here for about a week just seeing what there is to learn about the exhilarating sport of cycling. Anything else?

Hey everyone!

Hi Brian and welcome to BF.

Stop by Intown Bicycles and say hello -- and maybe pick up a good deal on a new bike to replace your sister's.
I'm working this afternoon. Then I'm off till next week.
Also stop by the Atlanta/Decatur thread in the Southeast regional subforum.

haha, yeah that's me. Craziness.

I was in Valdosta during college. I graduated and now I am in Atlanta and have been for about a year. I currently live downtown and work in Marietta.

Wow Ron, your shop is pretty much right on the route I have been doing for the past 2 days. I know I won't make it in today since I won't be leaving Marietta until 6:00.

Didn't get any pictures on the ride, but here's the mighty stallion.

Ignore the dirty ****ed up apartment in the background:


I took the camera, but it was kind of dark so the lighting was going to be piss poor with a flash and those reflectors.
