First bike ride in 4 years.

Finally got the bike out today, just a short local ride till I get used to it. I had to get off and push near the top of a hill, despite being in the lowest gear-oh dear. It wasn't my legs that were the issue, it was my chest not being able to take in any more air. It was burning. I'm quite out of shape and hopefully this bike will get me fit again. It was nice going down the hill however lol.
I have to say this is a fast, nimble bike, steering is very light and the best bike I've ridden so far. (Its a Claud Butler Urban 200)
I did get off road a bit too, gravel track through the farm followed by a trek through the woods. It was fun!

Nice work and good photos. If you keep up the cycling you'll improve in leaps and bounds. Enjoy !

Thanks. I couldn't believe how much I missed the feeling of freedom!

Oh I noticed something about the bike today. It doesnt seem to like going from third to second gear. If goes in but its very clickety clickety. If I go from first to second tho its fine. Minor tweak needed me thinks...
