Welcome fudgepanda, I'll keep a look out for a wobbly novice in a few weeks as I ride around S.Mancs/Stockport
Walking while pushing = no need for brakes = no skid = no crash.....unless of course I just fall over.It's better on a fixed gear because you don't really have to use brakes that much ! Brakes=skid=crash !
Thanks for the welcome. On the day I go and pick up my new steed there will be plenty of traffic news warning of a novice cyclist being cut out from the front window of Burger King on Birchfields RoadWelcome fudgepanda, I'll keep a look out for a wobbly novice in a few weeks as I ride around S.Mancs/Stockport
Ashton and Stockport eh? One to the north and one to the south. Excellent. To be honest, if I get as far as either in the first few weeks I'll need an Intensive Care Unit. With Tameside's reputation and Stepping Hill's serial killer I might be screwed there. Oh, bought a bike yesterday on the cyclescheme so just got to a) find the appropriate forum to waffle on about it and b) wait for the voucher to arrive, so bearing in mind that winter is only about 3 months away I might have to wait until spring before I can ride it!
Isn't that now a Metrolink line? I'll have a look anyway, thanks for the info.I'm guessing here but maybe the fallowfield loop may be of interest to you? Google it (it's not a loop).
How far is the loop from the water park?
Cycle around there quite often but am yet to venture onto the loop.
Yes pleaseNot far mate, I sometimes use part of it to commute. Easiest way to get on it from the water park is to go over the bridge at Jackson's boat, go straight on up the path onto Hardy Lane-then you are almost there. I can draw you a map if you want.
Yes please
I use it to cycle round to Evans at Trafford centre occasionallyThat was quick
Might have a play Sunday or Monday
