Good Afternoon
I have been reading the forum after seeing a fair number of link from the Cycling UK forum over here and like what it see.
I have just started as a new bike commuter, did first three days last week and have 5 coming up this week. The first two last week where pretty wet, but it still enjoyed it.
I have in recent years only used my bike to accompany my eldest on short bike rides or the odd longer ride myself, but over the last month or so I have been getting out and doing as much as I can as I am really enjoying it. I'm not fast but I feel that is increasing now, 10mph was today's average over 35 miles.
I have 3 bikes now my "main" bike is a Saracen Hybrid from 15 years ago, I love riding it, I have just replaced the forks as the old ones had seen better days and it has new rubber, saddle, mud guards and rack so a perfect commuting machine.
I also have a Winora bike from Germany which I am currently fixing up to be my very bad weather / backup bike.
Finally I have a cheap generic Raleigh Folding bike which is great to take camping.
Thanks
