I registered on here a few weeks ago and declared my real passion was for mountain bikes. You could call me a born again biker having had a break from cycling for several years. I bought road tyres for my MTB and all seemed fine. I cycled the local lanes after being advised not to do any more serious mountain biking for medical reasons. I enjoyed the time and it improved my general heath greatly.
While on my travels all the other cyclists were on road bikes. I had tried these during my former life of cycling and never really got on with them. I went to my local bike shop this week with the intention of upgrading MTB with something similar. After viewing their display my eye was caught by a road bike Not for me I thought. Good looking but drop bars? No way!
A couple of days later this bike was still in my thoughts. Yesterday I took it out for a ride.
What an amazing time, I loved it. Today I went back and bought it. Pick it up tomorrow.
Very much looking forward to a new style of riding. Just might have to change my avatar though!
