Hi everyone well I always had bikes as a kid, I am now almost 56, I wanted to start improving my fitness and my employer had a cycle to work scheme, it was a halfords only one, so I went for a carrera vertuosa 2013 model, I have been out a couple of times now, I am averaging 10-15 mile rides already, although I really love the bike, I would like to change the tyres, possibly gaterskins,

A decent set of tires certainly makes a difference.

Hi There. I use the Gatorskin Hardshells on my winter bike, and even though they cost a bit they are worth it for the puncture protection they seem to give.
