Read the rest here :------In 2003 I walked into my local bike shop
and bought my first new bike. It was exciting, exhilarating, and
even a little scary. Dozens of bikes and 10 years later, I have
found myself in a place where I can help others through their first
new bike buying experience at the bike shop. I have worked as a
bicycle sales associate for almost 8 years, and I have been a
professional bike fit specialist since 2007. I have heard and seen
just about everything in the bike shop.You have decided that it's
time to head to the bike shop because you need a new bike. Whether
it is your first new bike ever, or you're buying the bike to try a
few sprint triathlons or even to participate in the Pan Mass
Challenge, there are a few things with which you'll need to get
familiar before busting down the door of your local bike shop."I'm
not a serious biker" was usually one of the two most popular
opening statements I heard when working with someone at the bike
shop. First off, YES YOU ARE! Don't undervalue yourself during our
first interaction (or ever, for that matter). I already think that
you are a serious biker because you are here at the bike shop to
buy a new bike, one of the greatest investments that you will ever
make and never regret. Don't worry-I am not going to judge you
because you can't name the entire Shimano component family. I've
been there. New bike shopping is exciting and it is a learning
experience.Also got a list of rides leaving from Ferris Wheels in
