Introduction...
Hello;
I've been bitten by the bicycling bug! I Like it! Being over 60 and after several operations, it is a challenge. Especially those hills...
But I keep trying, and hope to get some tips here. This is my first 21 speed bike, and my first Schwinn, sooo it does take some getting used too!
And I got permission....from the wife. Thank You
Rob

Welcome Rob. I'm 69 and on my ... er ... uh ... hmm ... seems I've lost track of how many bikes I've had since I started back at it in 1999.
The Schwinn is just the start. You'll be on a $2000+ road bike in no time and those hills will be just a bump in the road.

Welcome to BF! Speaking for the >68yo arthritic set... Watch out for the broken glass. It’s harder to see coming up on you these days. I think the pieces are smaller than they used to be!
