You’re a runner; you don’t want to read about bicycle drivetrains. You don’t care about gear ratios and cadence. The mention of mechanical advantage sends you into a blind rage.
You just want to hop on a bike and go.
However, there are tons of reasons to consider biking. Maybe you’re looking to reduce your risk of injury and mix up your weekly workouts or you took a spin class and liked it. Maybe you’re ready to leap into triathlons. Maybe if bikes were as simple as running shoes, you’d already be a cyclist.
