Welcome @Way2Slow. I presume that the “City by the Bay” is not Boston. What kind cycling do you do?

Sorry they got me on this 5 post limit in the first 24hrs. I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area, the left coast lol. Currently just riding for fitness,15-20 mile trips. I was a gym rat for the longest but kids then pandemic changed things and honestly this is the push I need to get back on a bike. Haven't owned a bike since high school, old Huffy beach crusier.

I suppose all you needed was a little air in the tires and some 3in1 on the chain for that Huffy and you to get up and go?
