Howdy....
I didn't know anything about bikes a couple of years ago, bought one with shoe
clips and proceeded to fall over for the first 3 weeks because I had the tension
on the clips to tight.
Anyway, you just get out and ride and maybe it a habit 3-4 days a week then
before you know it you're thinking, hmmm what what a weekend trip would be
like? When you wonder that you are hooked.
So, enjoy the venture, start off with what you have and you'll move up to a touring
bike and find out what you really want.
Here's a link to my weekend ride in Texas...enjoy...John Young
