    Hi Chris, Welcome to the forum mate.

    I cycle around New Addington and Downe/Biggin Hill which gets me a good work out along with some decent views.

    Hi

    it's normal to need to tweak stuff, especially gears, as the cables bed in and stretch. It's great if you're prepared to tweak stuff yourself, best way to learn but don't forget your bike probably came with a free six week check if you bought it from a bike shop.

    Any queries post them up in the workshop and tech forum.

    Can't recommend anywhere in Kent I'm afraid but there's some really good riding up North :lol:
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result
