well i'm new to the biking world. Only riding i have ever done was as a kid in the back yard. I have been wanting to get a bike and do some riding for a while now and just bought a bike at Dick's. Only reason being I wanted to get a cheaper bike just to see how I like riding before I spend so much for a nice bike. Suggestions on readings or things to do to learn? Want to get a good feel for the sport before I get too serious about it.
Thanks all

What kind of biking to you want to do? Either way, usually just get out and ride is the best way to do it.

really want to do some offroad trails, movin in about a month and my brother rides so hoping to do some riding with him

Go on some local trails. Getting out and on is the best way to learn. I've never used a book, and i've been doing it for about 6 or so years.

There are many different styles of riding, like others have said you need to just get out there & start riding to find out what you really enjoy doing. Check out Lee Likes Bikes & his book is very good for technique. :thumbsup:
