Good bicycling forums?
"Cynthia P" wrote in message .. . I may be a bike owner in the near future. Believe it or not, I won a Fuji Crosstown 2.0 in a blog contest. And I haven't been on a bicycle in like 30 YEARS! I've never ridden on hills before... and that's what we've got in this town, I live on one of the steeper ones! Fortunately, I also have a station wagon if I need to take the bike elsewhere to start learning, LOL! So I was wondering if anyone knew of a good bicycle forum where I might could get tips/advice if needed. No idea when the bike is coming... I just know that the contest rep has my info. But I'm really looking forward to owning a bike again, I can say that! -- Cynthia 262/221.6/150 http://www.garbagethatgoo.com (my weight loss blog) There are a number of bicycle newsgroups in the rec.bicycles. heirarchy. I like rec.bicycles.tech but there are others as well. |

I like rec.bicycles.tech but there are others as well. Thanks, I'll check that out. Funny... didn't even think of Usenet! I guess I've gotten a little discouraged with Usenet and this group, so I was actually thinking web forums. Sad but true. There's a local bicycle group, which I may end up joining once the bike actually arrives and I learn to ride again. They have a web forum, but it's not very active. -- Cynthia 262/221.6/150 http://www.garbagethatgoo.com (my weight loss blog) |

I'm not doing much with Usenet these days because of the troll/spam thing. I've participated in Bikeforums.net for a few years and really like it. They have several sections to choose. The Historian, who was a regular poster here, also posts there. I'm usually in the 50+ forum but you don't have to be 50+ to post there. Someone commented on my blog and recommended this forum, so I probably WILL sign up there once my bike arrives. They have a group for people wanting to lose weight. It's the Clydes/Athena group. I always read that section and have participated there, too. Yeah, I saw that! And they'd probably have just the tips for someone like me who hasn't ridden in some 30 years and is not so sure of balance right now. Now if the bike would only come! Thanks Beverly! -- Cynthia 262/221.6/150 http://www.garbagethatgoo.com (my weight loss blog) |
