  Thanks for the indepth reply and comparison! It is really helpful. I think ultimately I might use both
  for long trips / touring, but until then it will suit my needs just fine. My wife has a Polar HRM...

  Being new to biking in general (at least from an adult perspective), I'm not really certain what a bike
  computer does for you. One question I have, is can I use my handheld GPS that I use for GeoCachi...

  Well, I was at my LBS yesterday, and ended up buying a new Marin Larkspur. It seems to be a really nice
  bike. Do you think this is a decent starter bike for someone wanting to do 99% paved riding on l...

  I am thinking, after I get into better shape, of buying a bike for commuting. The trouble is, it's 23
  miles one way (all highway). I'll have to see how far it is if I take regular streets, but I think...

  I bought the bike new in 2000. I rode it a lot at first, but then life got busy, I got lazy, and then
  quit. I've decided to begin riding again. I'd really like to go buy a new bike, but that just isn'...

  Thanks for the links. I will definitely check those sites out!

  Is there any kind of tutorial you all know of to help me adjust my bike? It seems both shifters are not
