Ex lurker, now a member from Cleveland

Hey all,
I have had this idea of starting to ride a bike for about three weeks now and it seems to have consumed all my thoughts. It seems like everywhere I look, I see people riding bikes and they look like they are having a blast! I find myself researching bikes and gear all the time, even while I am at work (hopefully IT isn't monitoring me too close) and can't wait to take the MSF course. I have a few questions but will post them in another forum. Just thought I would say hello.
