hmm is a pain like. i'm considering moving Madrid/Barcelona/Seville later this year and would have to house share, and where the hell i would put my roadie is a concern! here i've been lucky with spare bedroom

I don't, but I actually do enjoy cycling. It's problem where to store a bike really, that's the only thing really stopping me!

I have the same issue, I want to get into it but I have nowhere to store a bike atm.

It's definitely something I'd like to be into by the end of the year, what's the typical cost to get 'into' hybrid cycling? (i.e. bike and all gear, bike rack, etc) @-:Undertaker:-; you're prob best placed to guesstimate

I quite like the look of those events that do closed road races (for example Glasgow to Edinburgh).

a typical roadie (which i recommend over hybrids) you can get for like £250 to £300. i've bought two now, and my one at home (Mizani Aero) is nowhere near as good as my Viking one which you can find here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Viking-Mens...cycling&sr=1-5

as for the rest, you can get quality skinsuits cheap for like £30, like this one i have: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XSG375-Ho...64QAYioLpDgqMw

and you can get decent helmets like this cheapish online too - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bell-Trac...oGAf4dJV8mL_VQ


shoes i'd just go Sports Direct.

overall to start off you're looking at £380? i do recommend that Viking bike though for lower range/starter! ridden a few and its v good

Why road over hybrid?

I wouldn't be doing only road cycling, I'd be going through woods/trail areas etc too.

it's just a massive difference for when you're on the road. they're so damned smooth

tbh if its not madly off road i've managed on a roadie before. depends what you'll be doing most

mostly off road and driving places tbh so main reason I'd think a hybrid would be better.

could always get both

hybrids you can get veryyyyyyy cheap

I wouldn't really cycle on roads though, unless it was like a closed road race?

I hate cyclists on the roads so I wouldn't contribute to the problem

I mainly do off-road like old railway lines and canals. Mostly tarmac/fine grit, fine for roadie!
