Hi from London!

[Erica]

Hiya,

My name is Erica and I got interested in road cycling after an injury in my foot which meant I couldn't do as much running as I used to. However, I actually find cycling much more fun! However, much easier to spend lots of money! Running shoes and running gear was pretty cheap in comparison!

I really hope I can learn things from this forum and maybe make some new friends! I unfortunately don't have many friends who cycle.



Thanks
Erica

I wish I had picked a cheaper sport aswell. I'm sure you will connect up with lots of cyclists as you venture out. Join a club if you want to get serious.

Hi and Erica.

If you are any where near Greenwich, the Greenwich Tritons are a good bunch.

Get a few of their riders coming out to Grain to ride our Tuesday 10's

Hi Erica may you enjoy a long and fruitful cycle career.

Welcome Erica. I used to do a little bit of running many years ago and, as much as I am enjoying my cycling, can't help agreeing about the cost! I probably have enough tracksters, t-shirts and trainers that I could run for at least three or four years without spending a penny but I'm frightened to think what I have spent on cycling in not even two years

It's a great hobby though. Fresh air, fitness and, if you put in decent miles, looks after your weight very well too.
