Okay, the first trip to the local bike shop was a wee bit scary - the salesperson was nice enough, but after a couple minutes it got overwhelming
and then 'Shimano-this' and 'Sram-that' mixed with stuff about titanium and carbon, and the next thing you remember was it was easier to remodel your
bathroom than pick a bike. "C'mon", you're think'n, "when I was a kid I just got on and rode one - no one made me think about it!" We hope we can
help. Every few weeks or so we'll talk to one of our friendly shop pals and make the ride simple - plain talk and diagrams. It will be easy all over again -
we promise! Bikes are too much fun to be complicated. Email me if you have a question, we'll get it answered and post it here.
