Hi,
Im a newbee to cycling and after a year out of any form of exercise due to a ACL replacement, im keen to get into cycling. IM really sorry for any good cyclists who read this because i am probably going to sound incredibly stupid and naive!
Basically my work has a ride2work scheme with Evans cycles so I will be purchasing my bike from there. However before i buy, i need some help/advice!!
1) Road, Mountain, Hybrid or Cyclo Cross??
Basically i will be doing mainly road riding and hope to ride the London to paris next year but may occasionally need to do the odd girly thing with the mrs like go to centre parcs etc.
2) Any makes to steer clear of? or any makes that are particularly good?
3) Brakes, do disc brakes really make a difference?
4) what sort of Pedals?
4) anything else i should pay particular attention to?
Sorry again and thanks to anyone who helps!!
