Newbe from Glasgow
Hi Guys,
I have just joind the forum.
I have been doing a bit of mountain biking for a few years now and looking to to venture onto road biking.
I have my eye on a Merida 901 road bike.
I am wanting to get out more and start to build up on my miles and help myself loose some weight. I am a bit worried that I might look a bit ridiculous on a road bike as I am carrying a few extra pounds, I am 35 years old, 5`12" and weigh 245lbs (17.5 stone)
What are your thought on that? should I never mind what I might look like and just get myself the road bike I want and get out cycling or stick to the mountain bike and loose a bit of weight first?
Thanks
