This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Congrats. It’s not a bad strategy. by ndroman21
Although I kept going with a $1000ish road bike for something like 7 years before I fell off of the wagon, I can vouch that the carbon frame bike I bought this year to get back into it is a significant upgrade.
On the heat of summer....it’s usually not 95 yet if you get out early enough.
On winter, I got back into it this year in January by joining Zwift and investing in a smart trainer. My decade + old aluminum bike is now a full time indoor bike. I still have to ride inside now once every week or two because of weather or just not being able to squeaaze in a ride before dark. It’s not as good as riding outside, but I’m surprised by how much fun it still is.
