Howdy friends,

I'm Shawn. I'm the founder of this forum.

I created this forum to be the online community companion to my Beginner Cycling Tips blog.

This forum was created for beginner cyclists and seasoned cyclists who want to help beginners.

A bit about me:

I'm a road, gravel, mountain, and adventure cyclist. I have been cycling as an adult for around 15 years. I'm 41, male, married, and I live in Southern Illinois, USA. I'm also into hiking, camping, and just about anything outdoors.

I run quite a few forums and blogs, as well.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!
