If bicycling across country, or any bicycling, seems beyond your abilities we urge you to just start where you are.... * Get a bicycle
* Join a club.
Joining a club is important because.....
* It will keep you interested, motivated. Without the camaraderie of friends you're less likely to ride regularly, often.
* Bicycling with others increases your skills, enjoyment and stregth.
* You learn from other cyclists the many facets of bicycling.
