Greetings from ATL!
Greetings all, I hail from the small city of Atlanta, GA. I'm up here with my wife for school, originally from the sunny and beautiful panhandle of Florida. I was an avid fisherman and now that I'm living the metro life I have started a new hobby...bikes.
I'm not sure how it happened but I now have 7 bikes in various stages of dis-repair. They range from a Trek 29er to a Free Spirit cruiser. I know very little about bikes, but I am learning in no small part to this forum. Figured I should quit lurking and start contributing.
Here's a quick list of my rides...
-Azuki 10 speed
-Raleigh Pro Technium with 105 group set
-Sears Free Spirit cruiser
-"Supra" 10 speed
-1x5 speed from Austria gheto converted to single speed
-Trek 29er mountain bike
-Schwinn Moab single speed
And some pics for the non-literate.

Welcome to Bike Forums. I'm retired and moved from ATL (actually Decatur) and little over a year ago.
School? Emory or Georgia Tech?
If you need a good bike shop stop by Intown Bicycles in Virginia-Highland. Mike, the owner, will take very good care of you.

I'm at GT doing the old grad school. Thanks for the bike shop recommendation. So far I've been able to tinker with stuff until it's rideable, but I'll need pro help eventually. Very cool resource for bike routes though! Thanks
