Hello,

So you've signed-up, got your user account, now all you need to do is get posting .... ah, um, er, What do I say?

Well, it's dead easy - just say Hello and tell us a little bit about yourself and whereabouts you're from (so we can invite you along to rides!!)

Believe me, once you get that first post under your belt you'll be off!

My name's Shaun by the way, and I own and operate CycleChat.

If you need any help or advice on using the forums, or want to ask a question but don't want to do it publicly - just send me a PM (private message).

Hope you enjoy, and welcome to CycleChat

Cheers,
Shaun

Hi everyone! I'm from Manchester and hoping to take part in some charity cycles this year! I did the Great Manchester Cycle last year (only 26 miles though!) Just though i'd pop in and say hello!

Hi all.

I'm Sean, originally from Musselburgh now living in Southampton. Road & Hybrid Bikes are my thing and I am in the market for a decent runaround (about £100ish) while I get the funds together to buy another decent one.

I'm a sprinter by trade and hope to one day break my Dad's 1975 Armed Forces PB of 11.1 secs for 100m. I've been 0.1 away since 2007 and it's killing me!

Hi.

I have been a road cyclist for years, but other sports were a priority. In fact, I cycled mainly as training for my other sports. Now that I can't play squash anymore, cycling has become my one-and-only. I rode Lands End to John O'Groats with my wife 3 years ago, did my first-for-20-years imperial century last autumn, and have recently joined my local cycling club. After doing about 20,000 miles on my old Ridgeback hybrid I have just bought a Specialized Roubax Sport, but daren't take it out in this weather. Besides, the saddle is killing me!

I don't expect I'll post an awful lot, but thought I would just say hello.......

Mike

Hello. Thought I would say hi as been reading the forums for a few weeks to get tips on my first road bike.

Training to do first longer ride (sport relief) and think I caught the bug. Now looking at centuries for the late summer already!

Ordered my cube peloton race today. Can't wait for next weekend.

Will probably have lots more questions over the next few months and years.

Hi there, im new to this forum from South Wales, just getting back in to Road cycling after 20 years.

 

[fredsnapper]

Hullo,
I'm new here - introduced by a friend. Live in London, commute from South East to North. Ex-cycler courier but not the die hard kind, just did it for a few months and learned how to get around, which remains incredibly useful.
Ride a single speed Williers but hoping to sell and buy a tourer. Can't afford both.
Hoping to learn more about touring and maintenance.

Absolutely. Out Saturday and yesterday (great weather) and felt great. Quick and agile (the bike I mean...I need to catch up!)
