Hello, I am a new rider
Hello. At my Dr.'s advice to lose weight, I decided to purchase a bicycle. I hate going to the Gym, I wen to the park to walk instead, and saw all these bicyclists enjoying their ride, I said I've got to get one of those.
I hope I am not too old to ride a bike at 52.
Thanks

Welcome to Bike Forums. I was 55 when I started back to riding. I'm now 70 and there are several others on here older than me. Go to a bike shop and get a good bike. You can't put a price on your health.
