Hey All,
Discovered this forum at the weekend while searching for some bike advice. Just registered and looking forward to getting back into cycling after 3 years off the saddle.
I'm a thirty something bloke and I've never been a serious cyclist in my adulthood - more just leisure and even then fairly infrequently but I'm going to be changing that next month, investing in a decent bike and riding 5 days a week. In my teens I was quite a keen cyclist - going on 40 - 50 mile rides on a decent ish road bike. Sadly, I let life get in the way.
I'm in a fairly active job but other than that don't do much excercise so cycling to me is a good way of getting fit (without being bored in a gym). I know packing in the fags would help but let's just take this one step at a time eh? My aim is to gradually build my fitness levels and increase the number of miles I cycle each day / week over the coming months. I'd then like to take part in charity rides and the like to put my new found fitness to good use.
Anyway, I'm off over to the Cross section now for some advice on which bike to get.
See ya'll soon.
