I think I'm probably best sticking with a hybrid though, I need to rope people into cycling with me though as I'd never do it alone, I'm sure I could find someone though...
I'm considering signing up for a pedal for Scotland cycle in September going from Glasgow to Edinburgh for a bit of motivation to get into it..
I have a 10 mile run the day before in military gear though with a 35kg backpack, so unsure how fucked I'll feel after that..
