+1 with looking at a hybrid road bike. If you end up liking cycling you will outgrow the comfort bike a lot sooner. At least with the hybrid bike you will be able to go event rides on it so will last longer.

Don't forget to invest in cycle shorts and gloves as well has helmet, puncture repair kit and pump. And get out there.

Also don't be afraid to talk to anyone cycling as well. You might find like minded people and create a group. The other day a guy caught up to DH and I on our tandem. He and his wife were new in town and also had a tandem. We exchanged numbers and now we have some cycle budies as well as new friends (we have had them over for dinners!).

Cycling is a fantastic way to grow healthy and grow as a person.

Welsome!
