Hi All
I've recently started wanting to get out more and become a bit more active, and have taken up walking, summiting Snowdon in May for the first time, which at 24 stone was no easy feat!
Last year, knowing nothing about cycling, I got myself a nice mountain bike on C2W (GT Agressor XC2 I think it is) and regreted it as soon as I went out on it, not realising how hard it is to ride a "proper" mountain bike on a road. Since then it's been sat there not being used.
So C2W scheme came back around in work and I was going to get a road bike, but was put off by Halfords offerings as they only seemed to be offering Carrera road bikes in my £500 price range, all of which I hadnt read very good reviews about. So I've picked the Boardman Comp hybrid and pick it up at the weekend, and I'm just hoping that I've made the right choice! Hoping the frame / wheels will take my weight and that i'll be able to use road routes quite comfortably?
