New to biking

I am a newbie. I have always loved bikes but I have been too busy with life to do it. Now I知 at a point in family and career that I have the margin to start again. I bought a Specialized Roll for my wife and me. We are leisure, fitness riders. I do not see us getting seriously into road or mountain biking. We just enjoy riding. Anyway, I知 glad to participate in the forum. Hope I can provide a positive input.
