Hello :)

[ParaBag]

Hey hey!!
I am just popping by to say hello...

I used to ride my bike everywhere as a child, and then it all went wrong when I passed my driving test

I am now 5'6 and about 16 stone....not where I want to be, so I have decided to pick up my bike to help me lose some weight and get a lot fitter. I have just bought a cheap second-hand hybrid road bike so I can get started and see where I want to go with it.

Speak soon

Hello ParaBag, welcome to CC.

Great to hear you're back on, so also welcome back to the world of cycling.

If I may offer some friendly advice from the get go? Raise that saddle and drop those bars, you may find that riding position a bit too upright. Loving the blue wheels though!

Edit, oh, and chain's slack...
