Just curious. I recently picked up a Trek 7.5 FX to help me continue to lose weight and to prepare for a true road bike. I also wanted a healthy hobby and lifestyle change. I'm planning on adding a full out road bike late next year (hopefully '09 on clearance) when I'm more competent and know exactly what I want.

I also cycle...but mostly as cross training for my running. Like NJ, I'm training for a marathon...my first is in a few weeks. Hopefully I don't keel over in those 26.2 miles :fear:
to the OP, a couple pieces of advice, ramp up miles slowly, otherwise you risk burnout or injury. If you are doing a decent number of miles, make sure that the bike is adjusted for you, a bike shop can do this for you. This helps to minimize your injuries; a lot of new cyclists complain of back pain but much of that is from not having the bike adjusted for you. |
