Turbo for least impact on your knees, road bike for least impact without getting bored to death, MTB for most impact, but more enjoyable...

Cheers fellas, I might start with some steady road then and build up to off road stuff.
PS Thanks for the offer Merrylegs. Did I get a text from you earlier this week? I have had a couple of evenings on Blue Ts and cannot always recall things the morning after:o
