First Post - do I belong here?
Greetings!
This is my first post on this forum. I'm familiar with forums like this from my Jeep/BMWs. I recently purchased a Fairdale WeekenderMX. It seems to be a hybrid road/bmx style bike. Is this where I belong? Haha. I'm kind of out of shape these days and mostly ride for enjoyment. I put 107 miles on it the first week. Love it! I figured I better join a bike forum and get more cool tips. I'll definitely read the stickies...

Thanks! It's excellent so far. I can't stop riding it. Haha. I would post some pics, but I think I need a certain post count on the forums to do so?

Hybrid is a "generalized" term used for many different types of bikes. Your bike fits in from what I can tell.

I'd like to drop some weight on my bike, but I'm not sure what is the best bang for the buck?

I did some initial searching by post count, but came up kind of empty?

Also, just a comment... my hybrid appears to be a hybrid of
a cruiser and a bmx bike. Most other hybrids I'm viewing are more like a racing bike blended with a cruiser.

LOL. I wanted to join the conversation but I bleed Black and Gold, so when the Browns popped up, well, no use in getting into conversation with the unintelligent, hahaha!
