Hello from Brighton

[cyclegirl999]

Nice to be here amongst bicycle folk.

I love cycling. I have three bikes (dawes tourer, btwin road and trek mountain bike) all low end as I am a poor starving artist but they still give me great joy so am seen generally mooching about one of the these.

I'm no pro or club cyclist, although admit to a flourescent jacket (am partial to bright colours anyway) and dodgy ankle bands (although worst offence seems to be tucking my trousers into my socks it seems ).

I cycle to work, around town, for leisure and even did the London to Brighton one year (unbelievably)

I have done several bicycle maintenance courses but still seem unable to remember anything other then pumping tyres and changing a tyre (with a lot of swearing involved) . I would like to be better at this but I have the notion that I will cause irrevocable damage if I attempt anything more!

So that is my tale. I am likely to be lurking in the maintenance section as I hope to battle the demons of diy bike maintenance. Please help me if you come across me. I know not what I do.

Thank you

Hi and a warm to you. There is plenty of expert advice to be had here about maintenance ( and anything else for that matter). Always useful to take notes. (and then forget what you did with them).

Welcome aboard. Nice first post.
You should find plenty of friendly tips and advice here.
And there are a quite a few other CCers in and around town. I'm just over the border in the western part and regularly come to practice hill climbing up devil's dyke!
