Welcome to Webtasm. Please pardon the mess while I upgrade this site.

Cycling

Since I got my first bike, a direct-drive bike with no training wheels, with wheels about 8 inches in diameter and no brakes when I was six, I have been a cycling maniac. I used to borrow a "bicycle built for two" and ride ten miles to my girlfriends' house in high school, before the word "tandem" became common. Okay, maybe that was just because of the girl, but nowadays I ride from 1500-2000 miles each season, mostly at high altitude and with many hills, difficult roads, and obstacles like fallen rocks and bad weather.

I've been cycling Big Bear for 10 years, now, and yes! There are more bikes out there! I would like to thank the drivers of the valley for their respect and sharing the road and send out a reminder to everyone that we're out there, around the next bend, so please be careful of us and we will do our best to stay out of your way. (I posted this on a cycling enthusiast's site, name coming later).

I have joined the Big Bear Cycling Association with my son. They provide comeraderie and a lot of scheduled group rides to participate in. My current favorite is Thursday Evening Time Trials which have helped me learn more about cycling efficiency. They also host educational presentations at Nottingham's in the Village.

Coming to this website will be a huge cycling section of thoughts and ideas to make your rides safer and more fulfilling with sections about traffic safety, equipment, techniques, links to recommended equipment like Specialized and interactive questions and answers via blogs. I hope you will participate in making this section a great resource for cycling enthudiasts, everywhere.
