I have been lurking for a couple of weeks now and finally took the plunge to sign up.
I started biking last April when a foot injury stopped me from trail running and I was going crazy from lack of cardio. I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy cycling, so I ended up buying a urban/city bike made from a Canadian company here, an Opus Classico. I got totally sucked into cycling, especially since I'm better at cycling than I was at trail running. I'm presently shopping for a nice road bike and have bought a spin bike for the home gym since winter here in Ottawa might not allow for winter riding very much (-30C winters might not make a pleasant ride).
I'm a pretty active person, riding about 150 km a week, still running a bit and love hiking. My hobbies outside of that are knitting, reading and my three Labrador retrievers.
I hope to learn from all of you!
