About... About-Bicycles.com

Hi, my name is Rob and I am the "publisher" of About-Bicycles.com. I have not written all of the articles, pages and information on this site... but most of it at this point...

I love bike riding (my style fits mostly into the typical bike trail and medium distance riding) and I have ridden thousands of miles (that's not really that hard for anyone who rides regularly) and love to write about the trails that I have found, as well as bikes, bicycle accessories and just plain helpful hints and/or bike stories...

I rode an old 10 speed road bike (Batavus) for over 20 years, then got my first Trek hybrid last year... I liked some of the features of the hybrid for my riding style, but have recently decided to return to a road bike once again. I now ride a Trek 1500.

I live in the Chicago area and have found some great bike trails in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin. I have written quite a few detailed descriptions of many of my rides and of the some of trails that I have found in the area. Thanks to the aid of digital photography, I have also included numerous photos of most of the bike trails that I have written about on this site. I hope to be adding quite a bit more as time allows... So check back soon!
