Hello, my names Bob and am just in the middle of getting back into cycling mainly because my wife would like to try it to get a bit of weight off herself and to get fit. We are currently in the middle of researching which cycle would be suitable for her. I already own a Fuji touring cycle which has just come out of storage after 4 years our initial goal will be getting our milage upto enable us to enjoy 20 - 30 mile day rides.

Hello Bob and WELCOME to the CC Forum, good luck with the cycling. 
Bob. There are quite a few of us on the north bank, including Shaun who runs CycleChat. Keep an eye on the Informal Rides section because we try to arrange a ride every month, or did until the snow scuppered our plans. What sort of bike is your wife looking for?HelenD123 said:
The wife hasn,t rode a cycle for about twenty odd years. I did try to get her out on one about 4 yrs ago but she wasnt having none of it. Now the tide has turned as she remembers how much weight i lost (put it back on now, as i stopped riding 4 years ago ) plus my fitness level improved. She is looking for a middle of the road touring cycle too start her self off with, as she fancies the future option of maybe doing overnight tours when fitness levels and cycle milage is up to scratch, which will mean carrying luggage. Initial research coupled with what she wants to spend on a cycle has upto now come up with the folowing cycles. It appears that its a tad more confusing with all the choice thats available now. Any pointers to other cycles that she maybe should be looking at would be great, as we are both keen to have our kit in time for the warm weather.
