Any Bicyclists in the house? Road? Mountain? Hybrid?

I recently started riding again to help get back in shape. Mountain bike on the road and trails at first, but have bought a used road bike now. I was hoping for a bigger difference in the efficiency of the road bike, but it just beat the heck out of my back. I have a nice fixed tail CHARGE 29'r that I think I will continue to use.

It takes quite a few hours of riding until your muscles adjust to the new format. Put in more time on it before you give up. My road bike is much, much faster and easier to cover paved ground on than any mountain bike could ever hope to be.

Finding the right seat and ensuring good fitment is key.

My wife bought me a GT Karakoram 29er, I haven't had the opportunity to ride it too much but the little I've ridden it I love it. I need to find a good place to ride, my subdivision is out of the question...entirely too many hills!

Tip of the day....check your local bike shops web sites they have group rides and mountain bike events all the time.

Been riding for over 20 years, and used to race about 10 or so years ago. Road, mountain, and cyclocross. I have a Scott Foil 15 and Douglas road bikes, Giant NSR Air mountain bike, and a Felt cyclocross bike.

I wear camo when I ride and spandex when I hunt, or at least I think that's the way you're supposed to do it...

If anyone in the HWY-20 / Cumming area rides or knows much about road bikes, I would like to learn some basics...

Ok.. We ride out of Suwanee &Buford anytime you want to ride over here just PM me...

What's wrong with hills?

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to shave your chest, not your legs...
