------------------------------------------------------------
I am  a beginner  cyclist. Not because  I've never  ridden a
bike, nor because  I intend on applying  the nomenclature of
"cyclist" to  myself in any  official way... I'm  a beginner
cyclist because I just bought a bike that I'm excited about,
and  because I  want to  ride it,  and because  it's been  a
couple decades since I've ridden regularly.

The bike is  a Citizen Tokyo[1] with airless  tires. It's an
inexpensive folding  bike from a small  company, that looked
nicer to  me (and had  more options) than the  cheap Schwinn
folding bikes on Amazon. Maybe  it's not any better, I don't
know, but it  looked nice and old cost a  little more. There
were some higher-priced brands that I'm sure would have been
great too, but I'm not ready for that.

Circumlunar has  a shell bbs, and  on it there is  a cycling
board  where discussions  are starting.  I figured  my phlog
here would be  as good a place  as any for me  to write down
any thoughts  I might have on  the matter. If you're  not on
circumlunar, seek  asylum there immediately[2] and  join the
discussion. Or, just post your thoughts on gopher, and we'll
all find them.
