I found best women's budget bike on the Internet and I can't decide. maybe you can advise me something. I am confident that riding a bike will benefit my health and help me lose weight.

quick update here, took the bike apart and:

  • removed the cassette, clean it,
  • checked and oiled the rear hub,
  • removed and cleaned the chain,
  • new tape on bars
  • set H/L and indexed derailleursĀ 
  • lubed the seat post
  • reassembled the bike and wow, feels like new.

Did my first road ride last weekend, just a 30km coffee shop ride...chalk and cheese.

It is actually mad the difference a road bike makes in comparison to a MTB on road, can only imagine the ride experience on an expensive bike.

Hills where i used to struggle now i climb without a sweat.

Decided to take part on the ride joburg 94.7 ride, time to get fitĀ and start doing kms.

Thanks all
