I managed about 30Km yesterday evening, mainly quieter roads and some paved cycle paths. Lots of people out enjoying the sun, so plenty of interested looks and comments
Getting a bit better but still find starting can be tricky, especially on hills (gentle inclines really).
The bike has a tendency to drop the chain from chain-ring when free-wheeling over bumps, this be at least in part due dual drive gearing meaning there isn't a front dérailleur to help. May have to see if I can sort out some form of chain guard for inner side of chain-ring.
I also found I was suffering from sore neck when lying back in the seat (adjusted as high as possible). This may be just not being relaxed enough.
Found it surprising how riding involves such a different combination of muscles making me slower and more tired.
Glad you are getting the hang of the bike, just to give you a bit of an "internet group hug" I too am learning to ride again with a Nazca Fuego.
Funnily I have just taken the "open cockpit" steerer off and put a tiller steerer on. which I find much easier. I have also just taken a carbon fibre framed (padded) head rest off as I can't use it with a seat mounted carrier and top box.
I have done about 100 miles in the past week and have now got used to riding in a straight line, I can drink and signal my intentions.
Starting is ok as long as I'm going straight ahead, but starting at juntions that also involve a left or right turn are a bit fraught as the bike insists on going straight on - obviously my lack of skill there, maybe pushing on pedals too hard?
I'm sure I (we) will get the hang of it, just practicing without making a fool of myself or getting knocked off/falling off is the hard bit!
