Hi,
It's been years since I rode a bike but I really need to improve my fitness and decided the best way would be to commute to work.
I'm taking advantage of the cycle2work scheme through my employer which obviously limits me to purchasing from Halfords.
Looking through their available bikes, I've settled on a Boardman Performance Hybrid Comp 11/12. It seems to offer the best "bang for buck" of the available bikes at Halfords. Plus it looks gorgeous
I've got a few questions
1. Comments on this forum plus the Halfords website suggest there's an issue with the "set up" of the bike. Can anyone clarify what that means precisely?
2. If I do need to get it "set up" correctly post-purchase, is this something I need to get done at a proper shop or do I just do it myself?
