Hey- I live on Long Island in New York and cycling is a hobby. I also ride horses (english/Hunt Seat) and my family shows dogs in Agility, Rally, Obedience, and has a long history of showing in the breed ring (Collies and Shetland Sheepdogs). I also am known to like photography.
I am 29 and took up cycling last year when my job and life were in quite a bit of turmoil. Cycling was a great way to expend some of that extra energy! I've been using a mountain bike and just got my first road bike.
On Long Island I am lucky enough to get varying trail options- I can have either flat or hilly depending on whether I visit the north or south end of the island. The only problem is that where I live is so crowded traffic and pedestrians can be a bit of a problem. /img/vbsmilies/smilies/biggrin.gif
I have a history of heart issues (the answer to which is cardiovascular exercise and hydration, hehe) and many orthopedic injuries from various accidents. Luckily none of it interferes with cycling.
