I love riding my Giant Boulder, not an amazing bike I know, but it works for me. I wish I knew more about bikes though. I want to upgrade soon.

 

i'm completely hooked on biking. i have about 1300 miles on my Schwinn that i got less than 9 months ago. it's a great starter bike, and i definitely want to keep it around. the new jamis is a more serious bike though. if you want to learn more about bikes the internets of course have a lot of information if you don't mind the snobbery. your local bike shop is a great resource too. if you find a small mom & pop type shop you can just hang out and talk bikes with those guys all day. they're in it because they love bikes, so they enjoy passing on their knowledge. keep riding, and have fun!
