How strange to come across such a popular looking forum through a BBC news report on Helmet Cameras recording bad driving!
I must admit, I spend a lot of time searching the internet at work and this is the first I've heard of the site!
Personally I have fond memories of cycling as a kid.. I gave that up and didn't pick up a cycle until I borrowed my brothers for the daily commute a few years back.. Unfortunately he asked for it back before I'd managed to conquer the hills into work!
We've now had to economise and my years old threat to sell one of the cars and buy a bike have come true!
I picked up a cheap MTB from eBay and started off again.. What started off as a way to get healthier and get to work has actually turned into an obsession!
I've already ditched the knobbly standard tyres for smoother urban types.. I carry an Android phone with me so use that to track my route and times and am already planning longer trips there and back.
And to add to my obsession, my work are starting a cycle to work scheme next year, so I've been spending my time scaring myself on youtube and reading bike reviews!
Well, thats all for now.. Off to spend many more hours reading about our fab sport!
