Hey everyone, I just found this site a few days ago.
I used to ride a lot when I was younger but then had kids, life got in the way, etc.. I would like to get back into riding. I live about 10 miles from work and would love to ride my bike there.
However, I am kind of scared of riding on main streets (40+ mph) and that's all I have as an option to get to work. Also, I don't have a road bike, which I don't think would be a huge problem, since it is only 10 miles. I have a 1998 Raleigh SC200, which weighs around 26 lbs. In the past I've done many a 25+ mile ride on it (on trails), so I know it's doable. Does anyone else ride a bike like this on main roads? I've mostly used it on trails to this point, and buying a new bike is not an option right now.
TIA!
