Hello from Saint Paul, Minnesota!
Hi,
Joined the forum & Just wanted to say hello. I spent the day rehabbing my old Novara commuter bike (wanted something with thin tires to ride, instead of my Trek Mountain Bike) and then went on to do tuneups on my wife's and kid's bikes. So I'm all pumped up in bikes for the day...
Looks like a nice forum with nice folks. Hoping to pick up some pointers on repair, taking my repair skills to the next level. Also, I'm 50 and planning on riding a lot more for fitness, and I can see there's a subforum for 50+ year olds. Could be some useful info there, since things start wearing out at this point...
cheers!

Welcome! I'm on the other side of the world - past Wayzata. Have you checked out the trail (cannot for the life of me remember what it's called) that will get you all the way to Stillwater? My boys say it's pretty good...
