Adam, enjoy you bike - take it out of the hallway, is more fun

Will be taking it out on the weekend for its first spin. Was just getting used to unclipping the pedals as I don't fancy falling off and scratching the new bike.

Thanks guys. I'm from the Filton / patch way area of Bristol.

Well I would keep an eye on the weather since they are predicting ice for Sunday I think! And don't head into town to avoid all those roadworks (courtesy of Bristol Water). I'm afraid that you will at some point put that first scratch on the bike - though I hate that moment.

Enjoy you bike - I don't envy you cycling up Park Street

Always plan your trip into town around going DOWN Park Street and up elsewhere

Used visit Bristol for work, I had to walk up Park Street often, I remember the aching in the calves
