I introduce myself!

[DavidTruda]

Hello fellow cyclists!

I'm thrilled to become a part of this vibrant community dedicated to the world of cycling! My name is David, and I'm a new cycling enthusiast. Ever since I first hopped on a bike, I've been captivated by the thrill of riding and the sense of freedom it brings.

Though I'm relatively new to the cycling scene, my passion for pedaling knows no bounds. I love exploring different terrains, from winding trails to scenic road routes, and I relish the challenge of pushing myself to new limits with every ride.

I'm joining this forum with the aim of connecting with fellow cycling enthusiasts, sharing experiences, learning new tips and tricks, and perhaps even organizing group rides. I'm eager to engage in discussions about favorite routes, cycling techniques, recommended gear, and all things cycling-related.

Thank you for welcoming me into this wonderful cycling community. I'm excited to share this incredible passion with all of you and to enjoy countless miles on two wheels together!

See you on the road!

David.

I can't decide whether you really are super enthusiastic about all things cycling, or if this is the dreaded AI at work!
Assuming it is the former - welcome to CC...

Welcome. @DavidTruda everything you need to know about cycling is here on the forum, plus a lot of stuff you probably don't need to know.

Thank you so much, only one thing, i broke my bike this morning (what a coincidence), do you know a good economic competitive bike to buy?

Thought as much. The OP reads more like a desperate job application rather than a first post on a cycling forum. AI needs to tone down the ultra enthusiasm a touch (ok, a LOT) if it wants to impersonate real people.

I'd suggest a pinarello dogma for a start ideal for the daily commute or corner shop.... 🤣
