Hi everyone!
About to start a new job (and a new out of town commute) I've used it as an excuse to finally get round to buying a bike! It's the first one I've owned since I was a kid (aside from one I borrowed for a few months for a short town commute a few years back) but I'm really excited to get back in the saddle!
I went for one of Edinburgh Coop's Revolution Trailfinders... while it'll mainly be for short road hops during the week I wanted something I could get out and play with a bit at the weekends so a hybrid seemed like the right choice. Haven't had the chance to ride it more than a couple of miles yet (still need a bit of practice in the daylight before I tackle night riding!) but looking forward to taking it out on an adventure tomorrow!
Hopefully it'll last me a while so any pointers towards good tips on maintenance etc would be appreciated (I know it's best just to ask... but I don't even know the questions to ask!)
