Hi folks, I discovered this forum just yesterday as I've begun researching a new mode of transport for a new commute...It seems a very friendly, informative and useful place.
I haven't cycled properly since I was 17 and passed by driving test. Back then I was in to MTBs and used to ride everywhere.
16.5 years on, and having worked from home for the last 4 yrs(!), I'm about to have the opportunity to still not use the car for the 5.5 mile (each way) countryside commute.
So, a good quality - but used - hybrid here i come! I hope!!
Cheers, Baggers.
5 miles each way on a commute is very do-able. You will obviously feel a few muscles that have not been use in anger for many years, but after a couple of weeks you will be in the swing of things. All the information you will ever need is here on the forum.
