my girlfriend bought a road bike on saturday and insisted on a long ride despite not having riden a bike since she was 14.(other than half an hour in the park to get a feel for the bike)
sunday i took her the 25 miles from crawley to brighton down cycle route 20. she slayed it. 12 mph average, good bike control on shitty surfaces, we stopped once to find a loo, saddle and bars at the correct heights for casual road riding and cages with trainers until she feels confident enough to ride with cleats. i'm really impressed.
and yes, she is signing up for cycle instruction.....
