Bike Forums - Hello from the Bay Area, CA!

Hi guys. My name is Cyrus. I got into cycling very aggressively last summer. I used to BMX when I was young, so naturally I bought a mountain bike. Unfortunately, I don't have many mountain biking buddies, so I bought a road bike and fell in love. I lost about 40 lbs almost immediately.

I feel that because of my BMX background and my passion for cycling, I excelled quicker than normal (I'm not saying "I'm the strongest and fastest!" or "I can smoke Lance!" I'm just saying I'm not the average "one year cyclist"). I know how to work on my bike a little, I'm still learning a lot. I'm here to learn from you guys and share anything I know if the occasion arises.

I have many questions such as "how do I fix derailleurs?" and "where can I sell my mountain bike?" along with the request of tips on how to be stronger rider. I look forward to enjoying my time here.
