Hi All,
Just joined the site to hopefully share my experiences and pick up some tips and knowledge from the community here. I haven't cycled in nearly 10 years I expect, but I've decided it's time to get off my bottom and lose some weight. I don't like running, so decided cycling was a good option and I could work up to start cycling to work once I got into it, which will be about a 20 mile round trip commute.
I just picked my new bike last night, a Carrera Crixus Cyclocross from Halfords. I wanted something relatively cheap to start with but fancied the wider tyre and robustness of a Cyclocross compared to a cheap road type bike. I'm hoping to have a play on the bike on the local common tonight (haven't got lights yet and don't want to go straight into using on the road) ready for a 2-3 mile first ride on Saturday in the light.
No doubt I'll have some stupid questions over the coming weeks and months!
Thanks!
