In the Morning
Been lurking here for a few weeks. Thought I'd say In the Morning!
Just started riding a few months ago for the first time since 1994. Back then I had a Hyundai MTB (really) and a vintage Schwinn with a toddler seat on the back.
I've been through many bikes this summer trying to find one I liked. A couple of Giants (Yukon and Sedona), some Trek mountain bikes and hybrids, all of which needed repair of some kind, from tubes and chains to cranksets and BBs and derailleurs and in between. Most of those I gave away or sold. I settled on a 2001 Trek 8000 which I've turned into a hybrid commuter bike. Also have most of a '91 Cannondale m500 I'm still working on as a project bike.
So I've learned a lot about bikes recently, enough to know I know nothing about bikes. But I've really gotten into them now and am loving riding!
This seems like a fun forum, so hello, everyone.
