Hello all
Just thought I would dip my toe in the water and say hi – have been reading up on a few things on the forum – very useful stuff, but I fear that I am just the sort of person that is going to get loads of abuse, because I am not hardcore enough. I bought a new bike (charge plug) to try and do some exercise during the week at work, and just to get around town on, embarrassingly, I do not commute on it because I just cant bring myself to deal with rush hour traffic in London – too dangerous for me – but I try and get out for an hour or so most days at lunch time to cover some miles.
I am still using it singlespeed, but toying with the idea of trying out fixed, also not sure what to do about pedals. At the moment still using the standard platforms, I have toe-clips on my mountain bike but hate them, don’t want to go the hole clipless route, so might try some powergrips.
Anyway if you see a newb riding a new plug that looks too shiny – don’t give me too much abuse!
