Bike

Do I need to consider the frame make such as steel or alloy and does it make much difference.

Rode Bike for the first time this Sunday morning, when there is less traffic. Had the courage to put on the helmet even though I felt a bit of a plonker in it. I easily did 20 + miles in it in 2 hours and it felt good. It was not as hard a work out as playing football or running but my knees cannot take on those activities anymore so this is the next best thing to supplement the cross trainer I have at home. It felt easy doing it but later at home the body did ache from the cycling.

Some observations were, having a runny nose, had to wear gloves and lights used because it was a bit foggy. Forgot about having to get use to being saddle sore, and hitting all the bumps/drains in the road. Nearly got hit by 2 cars trying to fight over 1 lane and the chain came off once going up a steep hill.
