Hello everyone. Let me start out by saying this: My name is Brian. I am a high school student from the state of New Jersey, and I have recently become interested in the sport of cycling for both recreation and hopefully competition in the future. I became interested in cycling after watching about ten days of Le Tour De France on Versus, and am trying my best to research how I can become involved in the sport in my area of my state. So far, my searching has led me to the Outdoor Club of South Jersey, but their website does not provide much helpful information for "newbies" such as myself. Next, I found this place, CyclingForums.com. I am liking it so far, since from a short "skim" over the sections of the forums, I feel that it will be an asset for me on my way to becoming a proper cyclist.
The reason that I come to you all, the community of CyclingForums.com, is because I honestly do not have much clue of how to become involved in the cycling community. I own a bike yes, (Globe Vienna 2 [A Hybrid Bicycle]), which I purchased from Keswick Cycles not two months ago with the generous help of my father's money, but other than that, I have nothing... No friends that are into cycling, no real contacts that get help me find proper equipment - Nothing. So, I come to you all, here at CyclingForums.com to perhaps offer your advice and assistance in helping me gain a "foothold", as I would like to call it, into the world of cycling.
My Regards,
BDoosey
