Dear Craftyone, I was measured in the bike shop and tried several to see what the right size was but thanks for your advice. I do have an old push bike (right size for body+leg length as I was measured) but it’s about 22 years old and as a big birthday present, thought a power assisted bike would be perfect. I’ve had some accident-free cycle rides (10 miles was our last one to a beautiful old church where we had a picnic in the grounds, using the picnic tables there). A week after my fall I know it’s a lack of confidence in my own cycling ability. I’ve gradually lost confidence since the menopause and it’s not only cycling. COVID-19 has increased my anxiety 100 fold and please can I draw a line now and close this thread? Thanks to all Posters (is it ok to call Gransnetters Posters?) who have offered advice? Negative comments only make my anxiety worse and I’m sure nobody chooses to upset me further.
