I'm new to this cycling lark even though i'm early 50's, (need to get some fitness). Just about to buy a Hybrid bike, i'm undecided between Trek 7.0 FX or Giant Escape 3 (they both suit my budget).

Thanks in advance.

Rick.

Welcome Bantam Rik, always good to see fellow bantams on here :thumbsup: whereabouts in Bradford are you. I lived in Queensbury for many years, great riding out anywhere, but always a killer coming home ^_^

Hi Saltydog, fellow bantam. I live in Shipley, not quite as hilly as Queensbury, thank goodness. Just starting out on cycling at my (our) age my partners going for it too just for a bit of fitness. I've gone for the Giant her in doors has gone for the Trek. I can feel the aches already.

Hi Rik, I live near Shipley and you live in an ideal place to get started, get on the canal and don't give in when you hit the 5 rise locks! One day you'll get up without stopping, next step will be without getting out of the saddle, before you know it you'll be going to Skipton & back.
