I biked to the church and then up to Vanderbilt this morning.  That was a lot of fun and good exercise also.  I might take up biking -- at least while my achilles is recovering.

I need a bike. I would love to get into serious biking but I don't have 1500 dollars laying around to get the bike.

Bryan,

So your leg is hurting still? I think I'm ok but I just need to get serious again. No more 25 mile runs in 18 degree weather.

Zac,

an old mtn bike will work in the beginning. Look at a yard sale in the next couple of months and you could find one for sure. You can even find old ten speeds that work great for road riding. That is what I did until I could get a road bike. You can also find road bikes on ebay- generic brands with good componentry for 300 to 400 dollars. I got an entry level road right now - it is just over a year old and we paid right around 6. It is not the greatest, but I love it and I think it is a sweet bike.
