Yeah, I got into road biking back in May, since I have some family friends with bikes and was pretty impressed after trying one of theirs out. It's definitely a good way to stay healthy, I'd rather go out and explore than lift weights in a gym. Lately it's been raining a lot, but hoping to get back out next weekend, and there is an abundance of bike lanes and nice roads out here!
I have 45 mm deep wheels (ICAN) and maybe I'm too much of a noob, but I didn't really feel that much difference. Regardless, as a new rider I was blown away by how far I could freewheel on both my old (Mavic Aksium) and new wheels.
