Hi all,

I am interested in taking up cycling. All I have ever done until now is just pottering around cities / short rides out in the country on a bog standard bike. 

I am relatively fit but have very little knowledge of bikes, and I don't own a single item of lycra!

So I guess my question is - where does someone like me start?! Are there any clubs for beginners who want to get out and about on their bikes with a view to building up?

Cheers,

Liz
