Everyone here has their own ideas about what type of bike you should ride, but I tend to think hybrids are fine for someone just getting into riding and sticking to streets and rail trails and the like.
Once you work up to more distance and saddle time, you may find a road bike more to your liking, but they are not for everybody.
Thanks, yeah kind of proud of myself, lol, even prouder because my wife quit as well and I am more worried about her health than mine. I didn't know there was any other connotation because the ecig forum continually refers to it as vaping and so do most of the people I know that have really gotten in to it. Since there are NO proven health risks with it, nicotine is not carcinogenic it is the other chemicals in cigarette smoke, some people that were ex-smokers have even taken it up. It gets in depth when you really get in to that hobby, some build their own mods, coils, make their own juice, it goes on and on, lol. The only problem is that now big tobacco is jumping in and trying to take control of the industry and many states have or are trying to regulate or tax it like tobacco which is ridiculous!
