Hi all
I'm new here so be gentle with me!
I used to cycle a fair bit until a knee injury/illness forced me to stop. I'm now ready to get back to cycling - so here I am!
I don't know too much about the technical side of things - I just know I love being out on my bike!
We have 27km of new cycle paths where I live and I can't wait to get out.
I'm just sprucing up the mount first

Hi and
That's what it's all about. Enjoyment!
I wish you well.

 

[ScotiaLass]

Thank-you!
I'm just looking at changing my tyres to something more hybrid (instead of the chunky MTB tyres that are currently on them!) as I'll be mainly cycling on concreted paths although there may be a little rough ground, it won't be much.

Have a look at 'Schwalbe' slicks or semi-slicks.

Hi ScotiaLass and .

I'm glad you're enjoying being back on the bike. If you find you need any help with the technical side of things, there are plenty of people on here who are happy to give advice.

Welcome to the website

I swapped my tyres over on the mountain bike, I have got semi slicks on it now, made a big improvement.

Wow, thanks for the welcome!
Fubar, I did my HND in Photography at Carnegie

Today I have cleaned my chain and lubed it, fitted a front mud guard, pumped up the tyres and 'tested' it round the garden
