I thought it was about time I introduced myself. As the name suggests I've been lurking about her for a while. My story is probably a familiar one, I use to cycle a lot when I was younger (when traffic was less manic & bikes came with mudguards). I was lucky to live close to the new forest, so I spent many a happy hour on my beloved Raleigh Nimrod. Then I passed my driving test & bought an ancient Ford Anglia & the bike got forgotten.
Fast forward too many years & I rediscovered the joys of cycling buy hiring a couple of bike on holiday in Norfolk. Got home bought a bike off a neighbour, then won a voucher for local bike shop from my bank! I treated myself to a Dawes mountain bike, been out on it a few times but modern traffic scares the hell out of me, so it's been in the garage since last October. I've just found out I've got high cholesterol & blood sugar, so I think I'd better wipe the dust off the bike. Any advice for a nervous, unfit bloke the wrong side of 40 is welcome!
