Hi guys/girls . Just wanted to say i'm loving this cycling lark. Out today for my 3rd time in 3 days
I used to do a lot of running. Well I say a lot, I used to go mental and go for 90 minute runs in the Summer and pack it in when the weather got bad. That, combined with playing squash just about destroyed my right knee cartilage. I'd given up on exercise until I started cycling to work. It's a 23 mile round trip to work. I started twice a week, but within 2 months I was doing 5 out of 5. My knee, whilst not 100% (and never will be) feels a lot better for the exercise, I've lost a stone, and my stamina level is off the chart!
Now it's 2 years later, the bike has got a lot lighter (and more expensive) and I ain't never going back to petrol power. I keep my £35 per week petrol/running cost savings so I don't feel guilty about spending on bikes.....in fact I'm just looking for my first recumbent racer which is a very very expensive bit'o'kit!
