Michigan Newbie here
Hello
I am new to road bikes. Faced with a need to get back into physically fit shape I've changed my diet and already lost almost 30lbs. I need to look else where from the gym to get the exercise. The speed of road bike is appealing to me.
I'm a decently built guy at 5'11 & 200ish lbs, looking to go another 10-15 or so and build from there.

Hi, Mastiff Jockey,
Often when I see a post from Michigan, I like to say hi, as a native myself, and where I got my start in a cycling lifestyle.
We visit Michigan about two or three times a year to see family in Macomb and Oakland Counties, and I always bring or borrow a bike.

… Back in the 60’s in the Motor City, I had an “English Racer,’ and longed to tour at about age 14, but then joined the car culture. In Ann Arbor MI in the 70’s I really realized the utility of bicycles for commuting, and began touring on a five-speed Schwinn Suburban, but soon bought a Mercier as did my girlfriend, later my wife. We toured in Michigan and Ontario.
