I, with the help of a great friend (and my in-house loan officer) managed to rent a very nice high end road bike today for a training run for my upcoming sprint triathlon (two weeks away!) from Champion Cycling & Fitness in Jacksonville Beach.
I have not been on road bike in, um, many years. So, to say I was nervous would be a bit of an understatement.
For those of you who know beach cruisers, and mountain bikes, those are like the draft horses, and hunter/jumpers, and the road bike is the thoroughbred race horse: a bit more finicky, not as stable feeling, and did I mention super skinny tires?
I got the feel of it over the first 4-5 miles, and got much more comfortable; it's definitely an adjustment.
If you get the chance, give it a try; they help you get to your destination SO much faster!
This is very similar to the bike I road today !
