Hello from Georgia USA!
I am an avid rider, when the weather and my work schedule allows. I ride mostly for fitness (cardio), and enjoying the landscape. Currently I am using my summer days to ride on the variety of Rails to Trails located in Georgia and Florida (and the A1A coast of Florida). I enjoy the exercise a bike provides, and the opportunity to do some "sightseeing" at the same time. Depending on which Rail to Trail I am on, I use one of three bikes; a 2022 Giant Escape Disc 1 (a hybrid, with some modifications), a mildly retrofitted vintage 1974 Schwinn Le Tour road bike, and one of first (if not the first) modern hybrid bike made - a 1993 Schwinn Crosscut with Glen Bars (also slightly retrofitted, but not much). If you are in Georgia or Florida this summer (2023), and you see a tall 6'2" cyclist riding any of these bikes, it might be me! Just wave and say, "Keep going Avidrider!"

Welcome aboard! I used to live in Athens, GA but couldn't take the humidity. I think you will find a lot of useful information on these forums, so long as you don't mind some snark from some miserable souls. I say, "Bless their hearts." and move on!
