New rider from Harrisburg Pa area
Hi my name is Brian. I just bought a new Specialized Expedition Sport to get myself back into some riding around our local riding areas. My plan is to get up early in the monring and ride around 3 miles to get my day started and then come back home and have a lite breakfast. My thought is to get my day going and get refreshed before I start my day and go to work. This will be the start of my day and help me loose some weight with a better diet.
I went with the comfort bike as I have a bad back and can't lean over the handlebars like the traditional mountain bikes. One of my friends that I have known from kindergarden owns a bike shop so I met with him and after talking I ended up testing a few different brand comfort bikes. After test riding I ended up with the Specialized Expedition Sport. So this is where I'm at now. Been out riding twice and really like the bike.

Hello Brian, welcome to BF, glad that you chose to join us here. You might want to check in the Regional Forums for your area to see others that want to set up rides and other cycling activities. I'm a multiple back surgery guy and cycling has not been a problem for me at all, even the hardware has not limited my riding any. Surf through the forums and find the ones that best suit your needs and you cycling goals.

How is the riding in Harrisburg? Any good off road riding? My son will be working in Fort Indian Town Gap next year. Let me know how the area is. Thanks.
