Hi All,

I stopped cycling in 2006 due to an accident, but I am thinking now to start cycling again. For some reason I am unable to force my self. Could some one please advise what are the best actions to start cycling again.

In my head I think 1)buy a bike (which one to choose)

2) start slowly in the street near house for couple of days or weeks

3) or shall I higher a trainer for this.

Your advise would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Jag

    Maybe I'm missing something, but unable to force yourself?
    If it's due to the accident, buy a mountain bike and stay off the roads.

    yeah, i'd say stear clear of roads for a bit, and just build up slowly.

    I assume it was a pretty bad accident so hats off to you for wanting to give it a go again.

    I'm sure it'll get easier once you get going again! Good luck, let us know how you get on.
