Not everyone does all the research into what goes into riding and just get something cheap and "easy" to get started and don't go much past that. <br /><br />Considering that two of my friends were lamenting the limitations of their bikes, I thought that this would be a good topic to cover in a blog post and let them go from there. I'm pleased to say one of my friends took my advice and is doing much better... So that makes me feel good!<br /><br />Glad to hear you are getting out some. No law says you have a specific amount to do, I'm confident you'll work your way up to it! As long as you're enjoying yourself, the rest is all gravy! Ride on Caroline! You're doing fine!Samantha Shantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261974014782795456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347251.post-28059299944941474432010-07-06T05:50:51.829-04:002010-07-06T05:50:51.829-04:00Wish I had $10 for every time I have given this le...Wish I had $10 for every time I have given this lecture to folk who say that riding their bike is hard work!

I have a great mountain bike but on asphalt roads it does have drag, so off with the mountain tread and on with some smoother tread.Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177487519046407991noreply@blogger.com
