Needing suggestions..... Ive been on 2 wheels since I taught myself to ride when I was 3yrs old. and now my neighbor has shown me the light on real hardware and im looking at the Raleigh cross bike.
I could use some suggestions for a Newbie as far as what I should consider getting early on and what to stay away from.
Shoes, helmet, cloths, etc...
I plan on riding probably every day between 10 and 80 miles, with the more being on the weekends.
Probably mostly roads and paths, but a bit of crazy off roading too.

Thanks
