I have a typical riding history, perhaps. A lot in my teens, just for fun. I eventually had a nice Carlton road bike at that time. Then in my early 40's I bought a Raleigh road bike and discovered I had rubber legs very quickly. With perseverence I had a couple of good riding years again.
Now 54 and living on a new continent I recently bought a used Giant Cypress and am having a great time. This time around I took to the bike after 12 months in the gym getting generally fit and my experience is so much better :) Riding about 30 miles a week, not a lot but it makes me happy to be back on a bike.
I'm making changes to the Cypress to suit myself. Also have a few issues which I will enjoy researching here in the forum. I have already learned some new things and I'm sure I'll have lots of questions. Thanking everyone in anticipation of your replies.

Hello,Graham,
and welcome.
As any internet forum goes there are people that know there stuff by experiance and those that are
obese slugs that just regurgitate "tips" they cull from reading other forums or fitness books.
You'll find out who is who.
Welcome aboard!
