Hey everyone, just checking in from North Central MA (literally on the NH border).

I've been riding a bike since I was about 4 or 5 and stopped around my senior year of high school. Looking to get back into the swing of things, and feel completely lost making my first bike purchase ever

I've read lots of useful information so far, and I hope to continue to learn, so please forgive my noobishness

Welcome to Bike Forums from Texas.

Many bikes to choose from.

Get the bike that talks to you.

In most cases a Friendly bike shop is way more important than the brand of bike.

Have fun looking and posting on BF.

Thanks 10 Wheels. Yea, the plan is to head down to the LBS this weekend to poke around and test the patience of the staff
