I am 16 year old at 5'7" 141 lbs and have just gotten into cycling and plan to compete competitively in the future. What is my optimal riding weight for my height if there is one? Thank you.
You don't need fancy equipment, especially when you're getting started. A talented junior rider would drop an average rider on the latest Look bike equipped with the latest and greatest zipp wheels on pretty much any bike - even a $500 craigslist special like a cannondale caad5... Get something with two 700C wheels and go have at it... Good luck.Daniel Lomartra said:Thank you i appriciate the responce. The only problem I have is that I simply cannot afford the equipment sadly that i will allow me to be competitive. Do you know of any grant/sponsorship programs?
