How about this? http://www.tourism.net.nz/listings/f...rental-cycles/
Gondola up the hill, and then you just get to do the fun bit ... now, that's my idea of cycling

Re: What have i let myself in for!!!!!
Went for my first bike ride in about 25yrs on saturday!! Must admit after 10 secs in the saddle i thought, what the bloody hell am i doing as i started heading down the hill at god knows what speed!
35 mins later i return home having done just under 7km. I then spent the next 45 mins lying on the living room floor trying to recover...
Must convince myself, it will get easier...

Re: What have i let myself in for!!!!!
on the outside they are black - cool., sexy even i hear you think... but on the inside the padded bit is bright red - like pillar box red. I reckon if i wore them inside out i would like a babboon
babboon gone Psycho - thats more than NZ could handle i reckon xx

Re: What have i let myself in for!!!!!
perhaps you should continue with a static bike for a while? that's what i'm going to do. i also hurt my back carrying the winter and summer wheels from the storage room to the Golf and back. the damn things weigh a ton! perhaps i'm just out of shape or getting old, or both? :0)

I'm not gonna give in.. both the doctor and the chiropractor said it's down to muscle tone... so next step is to find a gym close to work that i can actually get to...
