Greetings all! I just started back riding bikes 2 weeks ago and have already upgraded. I am 56 retired RN who needed something to do to keep the weight from coming on by not working. I have lots of metal in my right ankle and my Ortho doc told me biking was a good rehab. I started on a box store Schwinn cruiser. After riding it 10 miles on one ride and feeling like I had been beat up I went to my LBS today. I came home with a Fuji Crosstown 2.1. I am in love with it. It is different from the cruiser but I feel like I am getting more of a work out from it. The seat is comfy. I just have to figure out how to change these gears. I have never has a bike with so many gears and on both sides of the handle bar. Any tips would be appreciated. I ride for stress release and have several bike trails I frequent.
