...well decent to me anyway.

Recently bought a Ridgeback Cyclone hybrid, and i'm really enjoying it- even in the pouring rain! I've never had anything other than Halfords specials so the ease of riding, lightweight and pace of the Ridge is really enjoyable and a real eye opener- Mrs can't keep up on her Giant. The only things 'wrong' with it are the lack of wet weather braking, and the seat is a bit uncomfortable after a few miles other than that- i'm hooked and the Porsche got an unexpected Xmas break as the bike was used most days.

Just thought i'd come over to the pedal powered forum to say Hello!

HNY to everyone

The new Ridgebacks are awesome. They used to be a bit of a basic brand, but their latest bikes are awesome. A mate works for the importers and took one of them out for a ride and rated it VERY highly and this guy is a picky b*stard.

Enjoy the bike mate

Enjoy every minute mate. It's a great pastime and the that feeling when you start getting fitter and fitter is incredible. Hills and miles just get eaten up.
All the best.
