not far from you its a good area to ride are you north or south ?

I live in Derby and nearly always head north or west for the hills. Never South. That's where the flatearthers go Closest I get to Nottingham is Risley for a loop including No Man's Lane. Very lucky to be a cyclist here.So many great routes to choose from and always finding new ones.

And you?

My main road bike is at the shop for the last month or so and I missed all the "big" events lately... Just riding my CX bike on the road for now... Is killing me..!!!

Hello Another two wheels addict here.

 

[The Klunds]

Cycling began for me at a very young age. I still find it the most elegant way to get about in a city.
I would love any comments and discussions, I just left out the information in the profile because it would not accept my homepage url.
Currently owns: Daily runner: Kildemoes black and white alloy tourist, vintage danish Hamlet green two-ton tourist, two-speed mini bike of unknown make and my lovely home assembeled Carlton.

 

[Dutchonwheels]

Ok, here goes......My name is Astrid, I am born in Holland, which makes me Dutch (and obviously very clever) but I have lived in the Uk for the last 35 years, for my sins. I have a busy life being a self employed gardener, mum of 3 nearly grown-up kids and various waifs and strays who drop in unannounced and full time carer of a zoo-like amount of animals, all of which seem to pass on my address to more waifs and strays.
Obviously I love cycling. It's my heritage, and I do miss the Dutch cycle paths and the ability to nip out on the bike to just about anywhere without the need to plan, specially as I am now living in rural Lincolnshire. Here I have to play chicken with the many tractors and speeding farmhands. Still, I do enjoy cycling when I can and I am the proud owner of several Dutch bikes and, since quite recently a BROMTON!!! Not quite used to its little ways yet but starting to like it more each day. Planning to spend the winter kitting myself out for next spring when I intend to do some serious bike rides. That's about it for now. I'm going to nosy around on the forum, as it's raining, hoping to find some useful and interesting posts and people.

Hello everyone!
I'm Sham, I've been interested in getting back on the bike since my dad recently got my boy his first bike (bike shaped object!) and my sister took him to a country park where they both cycled and I really felt like I was missing out. Last time I cycled was when I was a kid so I'm going on a 'learn to ride' in a few weeks and see how I get on. I'm researching different bikes in the meantime.

I'm looking forward to learning so much from everyone here and finding out about various family cycling activities around the Manchester area. Take care
