I want to get into biking again. So I buy a Trek FX 7.9 and a Kurt Kinetic Trainer. I love spinning classes. The 7.9 has racing tires and of course Carbon Frame.
Â
This is embarrassing.....
Â
What should I do with it? Ride on paved bike paths, streets, etc? What should I do to be careful of those skinny race tires? Can I add a rear carrier just for a bag to carry a lunch?
Â
This has those straight handle bars, can I add an accessory to them the same as they do on the drop handle bars? Down the road would it be possible to add drop handle bars to this bike?
Â
I guess what I am asking is now that I have this thing, what are my limits? Was this not a good bike to purchase? And can I correct any mistakes by changing out gear?
Â
I would love to take it places to ride via car carrier in the receiver hitch which is a Saris by the way. Like bike paths that are blacktop, no mountain biking of course.
Â
Any tips on locking it on the car? What do you all do when you buy a bike that costs around $2,500? Don't worry about locks, just never leave it?
Â
Thanks
Bill
