Any cyclists on here?

I don't really agree with Penguin, while he's right in saying that for road bikes sub £300 won't get you much. Not everyone can afford £1000+ for a bike. Everyone goes on about weight of the bike, but if you can shift half a stone off your belly first you've saved quite a bit of money.

There are some decent budget bikes out there for a beginner bike, if you can't afford too much don't stretch yourself.r

Does your wife have a sharp enough knife?

How do you find out what size frame you need?

they have an option to size their bikes which will give you an idea of the size of frame you require.

I get your point money-wise but if you lose half a stone off your belly and half a stone off the bike that is 7 bags of sugar you would otherwise be carrying up the hill. Lots of people go spinning and love it but in reality its nothing like riding a bike. Youre not carrying the bike anywhere and youve got no wind resistance.

Twelve grand for a bike Expensive hobby this bike lark my £300 quid budget would'nt get a tidy pair of pedal straps on that price range.

Whatever you do, just don't ride on the pavement or the road. Please and thank you.

Please try not overtake on the inside as I may not see you, or jump red lights , or scoot through pedestrian crossing whilst people are crossing , ride through town center paved areas , use excessive speeds on walk ways or paths
