Hi & welcome!
Took up cycling again earlier this year at age 51 after 30 years of driving, 85 kg 5'8" - every weighing machine tells me I am obese!!
Best to ramp up your distance gradually.
Great fun - post some of your exploits - we learn from each other.

Hi fire_one and . Let us know how you get on when Brompton out of box and onto road.

Fire-one, from a fellow Brommie (M6L) owner. They would not strike too many as a choice of bike for fitness but they ride well enough. Tell us more about your bike (model, type of saddle, choice of tyres etc) Mine has a Brooks B17 saddle which is worth its weight in gold. I also run Marathon Plus tyres which roll well. It is used it mainly for my commute but it is also my pub bike ever since I heard of a Spesh S-Works MTB owner having his bike bolt-cropped from a lamp-post into a van from outside the huge window...in the High Street!! My Brompton sits safely in a recess by my barstool now.
