I am looking into buying a new road bike?

Q. I use to have an entry level Trek and loved it. I am looking to upgrade a bit but don't want to spend more than 2000.00. I heard that Giant makes great road bikes for woman. Any suggestions? I am training for a triathlon in 2013 and need a good bike to train with. Thanks!

Answer
If you liked trek, by all means get another! But since you want to do Triathlons, make sure you get aerobars (and even an aero helmet if you want). The main thing about the bike is that fit is key, especially in the aeroposition with aerobars.

how do you switch gears on new road bikes?

I got about $1,200 ready to buy a bike. I plan on getting a Specialized Allez 2009, but I'm not sure what to look for. Can I do 90 miles with that bike? Is there a better option? How do you switch the gears when riding with a road bike? The guy showed me and apparently you move the brake to the right to switch it. I'm not sure. What accesories are vital to cycling? Thanks.

Answer
You can ride many miles on that bike. All of the road bikes will shift to the larger sprocket by pushing in on the brake Lever and will shift to the smaller ones by the lever just behind the brake or on the Sora shifters and below will shift using a lever at your thumb. You want the regular gear like a helmet, cycling shorts, jersey, water bottle etc. The most important thing to get is a good mirror for your glasses or one that attaches to your helmet. It's much harder to turn around and look behind you on a road bike.
