Thanks! Good to know your view. I am indeed focussing on comfort. Already had to rule a few bikes out because of my height, and also their weight. I just don't yet feel comfortable lugging around a hefty bike while I build my confidence up. Also a previous broken knee means some bikes cause a deep ache because of leg positioning.
So all-in-all, plenty of trekking around and trying out bikes before I take the plunge! Very exciting times. :-)
I love feeling the vibrations through my arse!
Bollocks wrong forum.
I just love the freedom of not having any distractions, no radio, no clock, no phone, no wife. Just me the bike and the road
