Background:
30, 20st, never been a big into cycling, but can do the basics. spent a summer riding quite regularly about 5 years ago. Just bought a Specialized Globe Sport last week. Not got the confidence to commute through the London rush hour yet, getting used to these narrow tires (previous bikes were a BMX and a old mountain bike), plus the ride home is one big hill, and fear i may die if I try it before i get at least a bit of fitness back.
Currently doing some short evening rides and after 10 minutes i'm gasping
since every road around my house is a steep hill
. Ahh well, hopefully i'll be able to start commuting in a few weeks.
Anyway... that's my intro... hi everyone![Big grin :biggrin: :biggrin:](/styles/default/xenforo/smls/biggrin.gif)
