The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Spent most of the afternoon going through the various hybrid e bikes as my legs are starting to protest .Specialised look promising Have a decent millage range.
I am considering dumping cycling and returning to motorcycles
I’m not surprised that cycle sales are in the doldrums
Have just found an old addition of Just Bikes last edition was 2000 Always enjoyed that magazine was more in keeping with the period Only one mention of electronic gear changing
Latest edition of Cycling Weekly has an article new for 2024

Split seat pins
Wireless breaking
Regenerative breaking?
Blah Blah Blah

I’m of an age when cycling was a simple sport/pastime.

Yes I guess I’m a dinosaur 🦕

I would rather get a mobility scooter and nail a trailer onto it

Coooeeee. -2 here and very very frosty outside. I'm so glad I dug my winter bloomers out of the cupboard. I'm sure the smell of moth balls will dissipate in a month or 4.

Stay safe peeps

I am sure your bloomers have seen many pairs of balls

Morning. It’s minus 4 and barely to get above freezing for several days. I don’t mind. Much better than the rain.

Good morning one and all, hope you are all well on this chilly morning. Minus 4° here and I am sure it's colder for Mo.**
Today............
Dark wash has been done and needs putting away.
Bedding to change and wash etc.
I have a lamb curry to prepare and put in slow cooker........I forgot to get mushrooms yesterday so debating "do I need them or do without"?
My cleaner will be here at 10.30.
Busy busy busy .
