Subject: RE: Road bike or mountain bike for a newbie? I see a lot of people on mountain bikes....they are the only ones I can pass.
But honestly....I ride a road bike and I think it's SLOWWWW.....It's just amazing how much faster you can go in the aero position....
What's more important is how you feel AFTER the ride....when you have to start running.....
I'll be doing a minimum on my road bike and will just have to get a tri specific bike.
I did my usual brick yesterday on my road bike as opposed to my old tri set up....and I got my butt kicked on the ride and the run.....even people normally slower than me were passing me up with ease.
But...I bought my road bike for the long haul.... Edited by Cmikul 2005-05-12 4:50 PM
