Hi everybody. My name is Frederick and I live in Bellevue, WA. Suburb just 10 min. east of Seattle. Raised in the Seattle area, will die in the Seattle area. Personal Banker by trade, future cyclist at heart.
I bought a TREK 7.3FX this past May, strictly as a commuter bike as the traffic and gas prices in Seattle are absolutely awful. But as time has past I realized just how much I enjoy cycling. It's almost becoming an obsession. All I want to do is upgrade my bike, ride it, clean it, ride it, check out cycling forums, ride my bike...you get the idea. Next year I'm going to buy a road bike, shave my legs and begin to take this thing seriously.
BTW...I've lost 15 lbs. since May, I feel great and I think I've found a lifelong hobby that just might turn into a lifestyle.
