My wife got a new Trek 5.2 Project One Madone and she loves it. We’ve been getting out a fair amount together for her to ride. It is her first real road bike and road biking experience she has had. I convinced her to set aside her fitness bike and give the road bike a shot.
Her adapting to a road bike has been a learning experience for me, realizing that what I take for granted while I ride she needs help with. As we ride together more, I’ll share more of what I have learned trying to help her become a better rider.
One thing that we have learned is that she loves her Gore Power III Lady cycling shorts.
About Ernest
Ernest is the owner of the Crofton Bike Doctor located in the Village of Waugh Chapel Shopping Center. Ernest has been in the industry since 1989 when he first started to work at the Bike Doctor of Arnold. During that time I developed a love for cycling and retail. I graduated from the University of Maryland and live and ride locally.
I enjoy riding off road and on the road as well as doing a little bike touring. As a teenager I did a trip in Maine and then over to Novia Scotia which helped cement my love for riding. Since then I have done tours in the Canyons of Utah as well as several trips along the C&O Canal. Today I have both mountain bikes and road bikes that I enjoy riding. One of the most exciting things now is my wife is beginning to develop a passion for riding and we have begun mountain bike together as well as some light road riding.
