Newbie from Maryland
 

Hi everyone, I'm from Maryland and going to college at the University of Maryland. I've always enjoyed riding bikes (often bmx when I was younger), but they were all very cheap. Just recently, because of a longer commute to campus, I've started to look into bikes a little more, and I'm planning on getting a good road bike. It's great to finally be a member here after months of reading posts from bikeforums.

Hello Jesus,

Welcome to Bike Forums.

Welcome to BF! Do some window-shopping at available LBS's. They'll do a better job of fitting a bike to you, your needs, intended riding style and budget than you'll get elsewhere.
