Thought I'd finally sign up on a forum for cycling. It seems frequently that I have an issue that I need to discuss with others, but don't seem to get around to doing. So I'll start here and make my introduction.
Hi!
My name is Brittany. I'm a 19 year old student from the South of England. I ride pretty much everywhere, normally covering 30-40 miles per week on my bike.
I love cycling, and I'm in good shape from all the cycling I've done in the last year. Most of the time, I'm a bit more speedy than the majority of road cyclists I see, but my uphill technique is absolutely awful. (This is exemplary when I follow somebody who is clearly experienced, as I'm normally able to keep close til they head uphill.) I'd love to learn to train this.
I'm inexperienced as a road user in general, so I occasionally make mistakes. And of course, I am often the subject of 'mistakes' fellow road users make. I also struggle with eyesight issues when it comes to colour. Generally, this is of no issue at all, until ambulances pass, at which point I am practically blind as to their signals. I'd love to figure out a bit more about keeping myself away from harm through my own actions and preempting those of others.
Among my plans are a two day cycle to cover 150 miles in December and an eventual marathon once I have trained enough. My routes are undecided.
Nice to meet you all. Hope you're all having a nice day.
