hello

getting back in the saddle! it's been quite a while since my MTB days, but i do need to improve my health, so here i go.

i wavered for a while on a bike. bought a bike (ikea sladda). wavered on returning it for a better alternative (priority glide) because i'm still not sure about the coaster brake. found some useful information that might just help improve my ride (automatix2 spring adjustment), so i'm now committed.

see you around.

Welcome isla, lets hope you stick with it mate, we have to keep some sort of exercise going as we age or we end up as a couch potato with a gut who can't climb a flight of stairs without getting winded. I tried them all but cycling is the best by far. many miles to ya.
