Hi everybody,
As title states another newbie, from couch potato in hibernation to venturing out to the great outdoors, its hard work!
30+ years since on a bike, god it's not the fun I remembered , it's a lot harder than I thought from the couch. Whose stupid idea was this, oh yeah mine, yeah get fit ,brillant. Buy a second hand bike and make sure before spending any real money! Wrong bike, wrong size ,great start !
So I have been lurking around this form for a wee while and know more now but overloaded with lots of information.
Need to get another bike more suitable to my needs. Bought a 2nd hand Giant Roam M, I am 6' 3'' feel I need a road bike but a more relax bike that will help me on stupid hills ! This thing doesn't !
Open to any helpful suggestions but not open pocket, 2nd hand might work but if 2nd hand what do I need to look out for. See a newbie but trying to learn.
Oh any easy way up these hills please? Granny gear and a lot of huffing and puffing at the moment
Thanks for taking the time to read,
