Had a few more rides. I love this bike, it's light, comfy and goes really well. Gearing is always going to be a compromise around here. I'm struggling to get over 21mph on the flat but on a couple of hills I'm only just keeping the pedals going round.
I've only had to walk up one hill so far.
I'm seeing bigger numbers on my HRM for my usual rides but absolutely enjoying the experience. I'm not enjoying downhills at the moment. I'm sure it comes with experience but the feeling of still pedalling downhill when I want to go slower is a bit weird! There are some steep hills around here and so I'll soon get used to it.
