[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1169242, member: 73144"] Got a couple of reasonable road bikes for fitness. Plus an indoor smart bike. Hadn’t ridden for years, and never seriously, until I asked Santa for a bike in 2010 with the mid life crisis type aim of riding LEJOG the following summer which I did in 11 days. Not pulled a stunt like that since, but am a regular rider and fully paid up MAMIL. Live in Surrey where the roads are crap, near the Kent border where the roads are crapper. Work in London where the number of moronic cyclists is insane. Sympathy is limited if you’re riding without a helmet and gazing at a phone. Regularly yell at cyclists who don’t think traffic lights and road signs apply to them. Don’t use the bikes for any practical purposes but would get a basic or cheap second hand hack bike if I was riding to the pub or shops. As a recreational rider life on 2 wheels is mostly great. Bar motorists, p*nctures, bad weather……On the plus side the amount of kit and new tech that you absolutely could not possibly do without is virtually limitless. [/QUOTE]
