Biking in the Villages
As mentioned there are different rider levels in the bike clubs. I would suggest starting in the social riders group (12 mph) and move up as you gain experience and get back in riding shape. You will need a bike helmet ($30 on line) Performance bike or Nashbar to start with. You may want to consider purchasing a used bike to begin with. Later on if you decide to stick with it you can purchase a new bike from a local bike shop. ($700 and up) Most bikers here wear biking shorts and jerseys. ($100)
I ride with the Sumter Landing Bike club 3 times week,30 miles each day.
