Thank you all so much for the feedback. It really is giving me a starting point to know what I should be looking for and considering. Sorry I can’t really respond to each on individually, because really it would be just a lot of thank you’s and that get’s boring So just know that I appreciate and did read what all of you had to say. every one of your comments has given me something to think about! It sounds like I’ll probably be looking for a road bike??!! (anxious feelings when making a decision ahhh). My commute right now is a wimpy 6 miles (total!) so I guess I’m not so worried about the bumpy roads I will encounter. I think I’ll be heading to a shop tomorrow since I’ve got the day off so I’ll let you all know how that goes!

ebubar – thanks for all the shop reviews. I actually live near TkPk too. Just checked out Proteus’ website and it looks like my kind of place. Plus some stuff about getting us ladies more involved in biking!

Thanks again everyone and of course still open for more thoughts!

p.s. dasgeh, i think you might be right. I would love to commute more but just hate my current bike so much that it’s made me think I won’t do it often…. but once I upgrade I don’t think I’ll ever drive to work (unless of course there’s rain… rain makes me melt like the wicked witch)

Hi All – Looking for a ride buddy. I’ll be leaving from the corner of New Hampshire Ave. and Piney Branch and going to Silver Spring. It’s only about a 3mi ride for me so I’m going to try and hit most of the pit stops to spice up the easy ride (Takoma Langley Crossroads, Sligo Creek Trail, and ending at Discovery Place). I’m a bit of a novice rider but I have done the ride to work twice (but first time BTWD). Hope to find someone to keep me company!

Also, if anyone knows of a bike for sale I’d love to know! Thanks
