We live in Ga right now, but we will be moving to Columbia in Adair County (just SE of you) in a couple of weeks...we bought almost 60 acres there last summer. I am new to biking...so new that I haven't even purchased my bike yet! We (my husband, son, daughter, and myself) are currently shopping for bikes and have been sufficiently confused already by the many options! How many gears do we need for the rolling terrain of south central KY? And is a heavy bike the end of the world for riding any distance? (I am loving the Pashley Sovereign and the Batavus Old Dutch but have read that they are as heavy as tanks! I just really love the traditional look.) I have already heard that the weight of the bike makes all the difference, AND I've heard that it's only the weight of the wheels that matters!?!
I would appreciate any advice and comments!
