Hello new member

Rode for years. then hit middle age and for a variety if reasons (none of them very good) did not ride. Getting asked what I want for Fathers Day, I have decided a new bike. Been to my LBS and settling on Townie 7d. I am a Clydesdale and from everything I have read it will be fine for me. So most of my questions will be as a "newbie rider". Counting on the forum to keep focused and trouble free.

Welcome to Bike Forums . Many folks on here took up cycling to lose weight and get healthy. Me; I lost ~65 pounds in a year without dieting. Just rode lots.
