I want to talk a minute about choosing your bike. The very first thing you need to do
when looking for a bike is to go to a good bike shop and get what is called a bike fitting.
You want to know exactly size bike you are going to need before you even think about
your bike. Because if your bike does not fit you properly, you are never going to feel
comfortable and you will never enjoy riding it. The very first thing is getting somebody
who works with bikes, knows a lot about bikes and is willing to fit you and order the bike
that is the right size for you. The next thing is to get an entry level bike and something
that is cost effective. When I started riding, I went for a hybrid bike. Basically it wasn't
this bike but it was a bike that I could also do triathlon on it and it was kind of a mix
and it fit what I was doing at the time. Now that I am racing and doing what's called road
racing, I have a road bike. So most important thing is to talk to a professional, get a
bike fit and then have that person choose the bike that is going to fit your needs for
what you want to accomplish.
