    I plan to look for a bike for fitness and maybe commuting aswell.

    Also, your goal to do a century in a few months as a runner, should be no problem! I went from ZERO riding experience only a few years ago to a metric century in under a month. A year later, 240+km in a single ride. This year, I hope to break 300km. Riding is fun! Enjoy, and yes, don’t overtrain!

    I’m a pretty shit runner but compared to the population, its above average. About overtraining, how many times in a week do most people bike for fitness? Is cycling everyday pretty normal? I’m planning to do marathon rides 3x a week for now and slowly increase frequency in a week. My 15 mi ride was because I got hungry so I don’t know yet my potential.
