I'm a 40 year old bike noob (again), having just bought a 7.1 FX last week. I've ridden it a few times, mostly around the neighborhood, and it's been a blast. I had bikes until my last one died when I was in college, so I've been without for 20 years until my wife bought one and let me ride it. Talk about instant love!
I just ordered some lights and a $20 computer for it. I think the next accessories will likely be a small wedge bag and probably some toe straps/clips. It's too easy to get my feet out of position or off a pedal entirely and those were a big help on my last bike.
It gets easier to ride every time, just take it slow and I'm sure you'll love it!
