Soldato
Hey all.
I am a passionate hater of road cycling as imo it is both dangerous and worsens congestion. I moved to Derby 6 months ago, where there are dedicated paths on what I can only assume are old canals or railway lines. This has flipped the idea of cycling around for me so I thought I would give it a go.
For the first time ever I cycled to work one day last week and I enjoyed it. It is a little under 7m each way. It was tough but overall I think doing it once per week would do me some good.
The bike I have paid £80 for off Ebay, and it is a standard adult's hybrid bike that Halfords sell for £160.
I have no intention of buying a better bike since this one is nearly new and I have barely used it.
Colleagues buy all sorts of expensive bikes on the cycle to work schemes, most of which they rarely use.
What exactly does a £1000-£2000 bike offer? Surely me losing weight is better than buying a lightweight bike?
