Hello from New Jersey
Hey, My name is Jono. Last summer I inherited a dusty old Peugeot from my grandfather. I took it apart and put it back together until I figured out how it all worked, and rode it obsessively commuting to school. Now as spring is returning I'm once again riding. I've recently started riding an uphill course for about an hour everyday (that I can) after school, and I'm very interested in becoming more athletic about riding, and learning more about the mechanics and repair of bikes. As far as I've seen this forum is very friendly and filled with some great knowledge.

Sounds like you inherited a wonderful bike.

Hi and welcome Jono. Any question you have will probably be answered by someone who has done it before. The most important thing for climbing hills is to climb hills.
