New Riders Page
Welcome to the New Rider's Website.
This site is intended as a resource for those living in Northeast Ohio who
have just purchased their first bike or their first bike in 30 years and
are looking for information on where and how to ride it.
It is not meant to be a one-stop source for everything you need to know but rather a starting point for the basic knowledge and skills as well as a listing of essential items you should have to make cycling safer and more enjoyable. This site is also intended as a source for more in-depth information on where to ride and who to ride with in the Northeast Ohio.
We welcome you to the sport and hope to see you on the road.
