Recommended by a friend to come on here, just for some good tips for a road bike beginner.

Just been out and bought a GIANT Defy 3.5, from my local dealer in Burnley, Lancashire.

After riding mountain bikes years ago I fancied a change and got recommended the bike as a great entry level purchase.

Anybody know any local good routes or clubs that I could possibly join in the future??

Thanks

Lee

welcome..... hows that Defy riding? said to be a lovely bike....

Sorry Carley haha.


I love the bike mothyman, had my 1st ride on it yesterday and love it to bits.

Its had some great reviews, and I can see why its a great entry level bike.

Spent about £700 all in with new helmet, shoes etc etc so need to pull my finger out now and clock the miles up.

There is a nice 12 mile route near me which is relatively flat that I am going to try and do in a month or so on it

CarleyB

you'll manage 12 miles in next to no time I can't wait to get my Defy

After about 5 years not riding Carley 12 miles is a abit of a treck at the moment haha !!
