Hello from NYC!!!

Hey everyone I decided to get back into riding about two years ago after almost 9 years off. did my first century at 20 years old to Montauk. Unfortunately my beloved Cannondale was stolen from my shed shortly after and it took almost 9 years for me to get back into it. Now i keep my new Colnago in my basement lol live and learn! =)

Hi Sir, and welcome onboard this ship! 👋

I'm sorry to hear about the current covid-19 situation NYC. Stay safe and use your bicycle for transportation whenever possible; avoid subway, buses, etcetera.

Hey Sara, so you only ever ride indoors in spin class exclusively?
Never outside?
Nothing wrong with that, please don’t be offended.
But never?

Nope. Never. I get asked that question all the time here. Never learned how to ride a bike. I'm here mostly to talk about fun biking shorts and the pro races.

You know, BikeNY has a great bike education program for adults. Fun as heck too.
You should look into it when things return to normal, hopefully soon. Or soon-ish.
You already got the bike shorts and are down with the pro races, might as well fully commit?
