Hi all im just about to pick up my first road bike. A carrera tdf. Only bought it 2nd hand but i want to use it to commute to work. A little bit about my self. Im 28 years old and on may 1st 2010 i weighed 18 stone and im only 5ft 9". Now 1st July im 15 stone 10lbs so im training hard and eating well and feeling fairly fit. I'm running 5 miles 4 times a week plus lifting weights and feel alot better for it. so now i want to ride a bike to work and just need some advice. Ive got the bike what else do i need?? do i just get on it and ride to work or shall i have a few practice rides first. I rode a bike about a year ago last. The ride will be about 10 miles each way and could increase maybe 1 day a week to 10 miles 1 way and 15 miles back.
Any advice would be great thanks alot Stuart
