Hi
I have just bought my very first 'real bike'. Cycle 2work.
I have a trusty Felt City bike that I use daily for work, only a couple of miles. I was looking for a bike to use at weekends for a nice ride, I visit a local town 8 miles away every weekend, so I thought the 16 mile ride would be good for me.
I bought a Bordman Road race, So far I am very pleased, suprised how light and fast the bike is. My wife made me promise not to start wearing Lycra, but I have just bought Cycle shorts as the added padding is really needed. I am not sure if the saddle will shape to me or I need to shape to the saddle.
I need to do something about the peddles. It takes me a long time propped up against a wall th get me feet into the straps :-( , I have now just taken the straps off but I think I will just buy normal pedals.
I am now just waiting for some decent weather, to start enjoying my new hobby.
