Hello from UK - complete newbie, totally know nothing about bicycles

Hi guys!

Just wanted to introduce myself, living in London, UK, 26 year old male. I Know nothing about bicycles so hopefully the forum can educate me on how awesome life can be by riding one.

Cycling history : back then when I was really young, had a bmx which I can't remember what brand.

Reason for joining the forums : I just want get back on the cycling lifestyle, for health reasons and money reasons, so that's pretty much two birds with one stone kind of thing.

I practically know nothing about cycling.. Brands, components, etc... Been reading a lot of stuff in this forums lately. Hoping I could learn more :-) * I'm thinking of getting a bike soon for commute from home to work and back.

Thanks a lot! looking forward to be part of the community...

Hello Mihajaru,


Welcome to Biker Forums from Texas.

Visit local bike shops and take a few test rides.

Many many choices today in bikes.

Hi, thanks.

Yeh there's too many choices that choosing the right one is just really hard :-) every single one of them has their advantage and disadvantages :-).. From what I've read. A hybrid bike is the best bike to get if cycling in a city or something... And the worst part is, I don't know what that means well I do but not fully...

Test rides might help you decide.
