Good afternoon guys
I am after some advice and help please if I may, I am 59 years old and I am very unfit, I've been to the doctors and after examining me he has said I can cycle to get fit again, I want a good all round bike that will take my weight, I weigh nearly 26 stone, Im 6' 0" tall, it's all cycle path where I live, and the route I have mapped out takes in around 6 miles of cycle path, fairly flat with no steep hills or anything, my plan is to start off and see if I can complete one lap and then build on that as I gradually build up my fitness and lose weight.
I am looking at a budget of £500 to £800 to spend on a road bike, Im not bothered at this stage about riding gear as it will be shorts and hoodie until the weight comes off.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice
