I used to do a lot of Mountain biking, until I had 2 bikes stolen in 9 months (1 x Giant all terrain bike, 1 x Specialized Downhill dual suspension).

It is something I want to get back into, however I will wait till I move, being that even 1/2 inch gauge chains didnt deter thieves previously (I still have the front tyres and seats which I always detached).

Once you work out which interests you most, i.e. road or track, get yourself set up with some good gear, and you wont go wrong. (brands such as Trek, Giant, Specialized etc are highly recommended)

thats good to hear everyone.

I started about 2 months ago and started uup with brunswick cycling club at a valedrome.

I also wake up about 5:30 sometimes which is alright besides going down a hill and becoming frozen and you then can't move at all. At the moment i used to have a GT dual suspension, but now that i don't like mountain any more i've started to do road with a Scott Speedster 5.
