Hi everybody.
I'm a new member here and just wanted to say hi.
My wife and I are contemplating buying some bikes for many reasons really. We are both 40s, overweight and in dire need of some excersise. It's been 20 odd years since I've ridden a bike and I am very apprehensive to say the least. The vast array of bikes is very daunting and to top it off our best friends are massive cycling fans and want us to tag along on a ride. I know I'll be a mile in be at the side of the road vomiting.
We also have a 8 year old who is keen for us to buy bikes and ride around the local lakes with her.
Advice please. It's not too late for us is it? I'm afraid we will look right wallies.
Also do we buy new or second hand? Hybrid or mtb? Arghhhhhhhhhhh
Martin.
