Hu guys,
Thanks to the advice from the bro's in the buying/selling section i have taken the plunge on the carrera parva from halfords.
I'm 31 years old, 5foot 4" and weigh 70kg with 50% of that coming from my belly lol.
Last 4 years doing night shift as a taxi driver and stuffing myself with takeaway every night has lead me here hoping to return to my 50kg days where i could run 5 paces without breaking down.
The bike will be ready to collect on wednesday and my plan is to start off with 10-15 miles after finishing work at 6am.
Havent had a bike for 15 years and only ever had BMX's.
Any help on the gears snd how to best use them? Also im thinking of buying a cycle computer to keep track of distance + speed. Are these worth buying?
Any other early morning riders here before bedtime?
