Going Back

#1 Unread post by MattC13 »

Hey im new to riding and buying bikes and was wanting to ask some of the more experienced riders a question, because i figure why not learn from someone elses mistakes. :)

If you could go back what would you have done differently? Such as buying a bike, courses taken, ect... things like that.

I would have purchased all my gear at brick & mortar shops where I could try on, rather than the internet.

I have too many pieces of gear that don't quite fit right.

I would have kept both of the 1970 Cudas I had.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
