Welcome to the world of cycling! Let's start the ride!
Welcome to Get Into Cycling! The website for EVERYONE who loves cycling. From the novice to the weekend warrior. From the commuter to the families.

Our goal here is to provide you with tips, advice and other fun and useful information to help your bicycling experience be a pleasant one.
We at Get-Into-Cycling.com have been slowly, but surely updating and adding new items throughout our site, so please take the time and visit all the different pages....there maybe something new for you to see!

== And how do I use this site? ==
Pretty simple: Just pick the topic you'd like to browse thru, point your mouse, click the topics or sub-topics, read and enjoy! That's it! But, please be patient if a particular subject is still under construction. This is an on-going, ever evolving website and we hope to provide you with more services and the best information possible for your cycling needs.
The information we provide you is based on our PERSONAL experiences and knowledge of cycling. We won't and don't claim to be the "all-knowing, final authority" on any of the subject matters. Some of our information may work for you and some may not. If we don't know a particular subject, we'll direct you to someone who does know and find the answers together. Plus, we won't claim information that was created by someone else as our own......we give credit where credit is due. But coincidences do occur!
Finally, while we do have our favorites, we'll do our best to keep our information and opinions as unbiased as possible. But, we will be more than happy to recommend different resources if you want information on particular bikes, parts, clothing, tours or whatever else you can think of.
So go on and take a look at the different links and pages. You may find something new that helps enhance your bicycling experience, information to refresh your memory or just something that makes you laugh. In the mean time, happy pedaling!
