Having not owned a bike for Many years I made the decision arrived to participate which includes mates in the village and find out from the gym and into the outside, all of them persuaded me that cycling was the simplest way to get fit, move out inside the countryside and as a vintage dodderer I had been also told it turned out low impact.
I went towards a newsagent thinking I’d personally buy a manuscript, read it from cover to cover switch on laptop and order one within the net in fact what could possibly be much easier to buy and put together compared to a bike?
Nearly 30 lighter I went home with a pile of cycling, mountain biking, Road racing, trail hugging and dirt magazines ( I never realized how much bike porn was out there), however, having sat down and leafed through them I quickly realized that if I was going to purchase the right machine then I couldn’t just use glossy publications or the internet I needed to visit a real shop in order to gain a nice bike frames.
My nearest shop was only 14 miles away and so i took myself off and away to Rutland Water Cycling. The initial thing Used to was to walk in the bottom floor and saw 5 bikes close to the entrance and some more dotted round the clothing and accessory displays (I’d been thinking this is certainly another case of big adverts and sod all stock), eventually I did an un-manlike thing and asked an assistant (the spitting picture of Dale Winton) who (in a very camp way) suggested i followed him upstairs! I was attending say that I was mesmerised but given my previous comments I feel that overwhelmed is actually a appropriate comment.
The sheer scale and variety had me scurrying from one end of the display to another and the salesman helping me was superb. No condescending attitude, just helpful advice that enabled me to narrow my choice down very quickly, having sat on several he even offered me the chance to spin them round the Rutland Water car park. I then decided that it would be best if I purchased from the store as so much effort had been put into my sale it seemed rude not to have done so (in fact I worked it out that the saving I might have made would have been outweighed by the blunder that would have been as the bike I chose was a completely different style to the one I had in my head when I walked in).Rutland Cycling, you are heroes.
