Just Got A Cube Acid Hybrid

[Shurm]

Just got myself a Cube Acid Hybrid wanted green but seem sold out but the blacks grown on me and probably more sensible at my age (51) !! Got it for commuting to work and just having a ride out on some local trails. Been reading the Forum for a while for advice and tips thought I'd finally sign up. Only picked the bike up this evening I'm sure I'll be up at sunrise and out somewhere before work tomorrow.

Hi welcome
Enjoy the new steed
If anything the only problem you will have is staying off the thing

Thanks

Got out this morning and went up the local hill usually takes me 30 minutes or so to walk from the house it took me 8 minutes and I'm not fit !! Hopefully I'll be out and about on a regular basis and get fitter.

Hi Shurm, good choice
I have the same, but in green because I'm 56 and not sensible (when you get to our age you can get what you want, not worry what others may think)
I picked nine up at the beginning of the month and with today's planed ride I should pass the 200 mile marker

Gringo's loaded he has one bike for every day of the week and two spare just in case of mass breakdowns .

Hi Gringo that looks good, 200 mile thats good going, I need to get fitter and the extra help means I can ride to places I'd be out of breath walking to hahaha.

Where did that comment come from

I have the one ebike and one analog bike built from spare parts and eBay bits.

Loving it been to work on it Mon and Tues 16 minutes there (downhill) 17 mins home (uphill) even overtook 2 racers riding side by side up the hill hahaha.
Went a bit further today and followed a trail over the local hill, can't believe the places I can easily get to now.
