New to Cycle Chat

[Voyley]

Hello There,

Just wanted to drop you all a line as i have just got into road cycling and am really enjoying it, I bought a Giant Defy 1 (good all rounder im told) as part of a bike to work scheme. The idea was to ride the bike to lose some unwanted weight and get a break from the boredom of the gym. I cant beleive how much there is to it: gear, lingo, training, technique etc etc; so I am looking forward to sharing with some like minded people.

I still go to the gym but thats just so strengthen my core and work on some weaknesses to make me better on the bike.

Anyway heres to a beautiful relationship.

Glad to hear you are enjoying it- there's a whole new cycling world out there to discover.
Forum is great for helpful hints, tips, advice, but also to have a random rant and moan about anything you like- there's also some peeps who know about electrics and DIY so it's all encompassing!
