They're pretty common. Most professionals ride carbon bikes.

I chose a titanium bike as it's more durable.

I've really only touched the tip of the iceberg as far as bikes go. I was starting to get into it last year, then it got too cold to ride. I really didn't ride much at all this year, though. I want to get back into riding. Maybe next year.

I see you live in San Antonio. You should check out the Hotter Than Hell 100.

Hotter'N Hell 100

My goal is to ride it one day-- maybe next year.

Siam' venuti fin qui per vedere segnare amauri!!!!

WOrd of advice. Suicide wings coming in means suicide coming out also.

it's fun to bike when you got someone to go with ....alone sucks

post the vid for him

looks pretty cool.. its my dream to finish a triatholon.. and ive gained massive weight with the army.. a bike would be perfect to shave off all that weight

Riding alone is really kind of peaceful. Riding in a group is safer, though. That's actually one reason I've stopped riding-- I'm too much of a pussy to ride on the roads with no one else. Safety in numbers.

:ugh:

My bike was just part of a triathlon. I wasn't on it, lol.

oh nice.. yeah i was real healthy coming out of high school.. i coulda probably done it no problem without any training.. but dam right now im struggling with those fast paced jogs. hopefully i get one soon cuz texas from what i heard doesnt even get as cold. and i believe it :D

yea, true

:inoutroflpuke:

The winter weather there is a lot like here. One day, it'll be in the 20s, & the next in the 80s.

Regarding being in shape, I feel your pain. I was really fit in high school & through college. Played soccer or tennis every day. I then messed up my MCL in 2005 & had to spend like five or six months watching. I got lazy in that time period & put on some weight.

It's funny that before, I never even cared about my weight-- I enjoyed playing & what not & it was never an issue. When I was injured, I watched a lot of TV & ate & ballooned to like 190. I don't ever want to be that big again.

laters...sleepy now

I'm getting there too. I think I'm going to get some rest.

Good night, all.
