Hi One and All
Glad to be here.
Last had a road Bike in the early nineties (Peugeot I think) and an old pashley roadster, both long gone now. I bought a new hybrid in 2001/2 from my LBS (see I have been reading the forum (- )but never really got back into it, missed the pug I think. Fast forward to now, married with two boys, five and seven. I had been struggling to get them off stabilisers but finally cracked it about 8/9 weeks ago. Dragged my hybrid kicking and screaming out from the back of the garage and out for a run of about 8 miles first day then 20 the next day. My legs were killing me but Max (7) just wanted more. Thankfully i got a reprieve with a puncture so two days off,replaced the tyres/tubes and we are ready again.
I should point out I am 50 and a lot lot heavier than in the nineties. I plan to keep using the normal hybrid to get fitter but hope to buy a road bike if things go to plan, nothing fancy as there are no funds at present.
Just out of interest, how many over fifties are active cyclists on here?
