And today I did......

Re: Re:

How many miles a week/month do you do?
Is it mainly urban or rural riding you do?

The shops, round to Mums, occasional Sis for dinner and the west end, where it will sit,locked against the railings while i sip my coffee and nibble on a croissant.


I have all the time in the world to cycle rob but missing the motivation.
Before the fall it was all day every day and my health benefited from it. Im hoping a new bike and not something heavy,cobbled together from 1/2 working bits will help.

Besides justifying a grand and a half on something you need to use it. And id rather not procrastinate on that too

I see you guys with new bikes all the time and realized this building and collecting malarky is just sucking up all the time and funds.

Im actually tempted to stick the entire collection in large lots on to ebay at 99p no reserve and put whatever i get towards the Cannondale F29 Black Inc.


And then leave the building/collecting bit alone.

Re:

Yup, it's gonnae be feckin hellish. My daughter is at Edinburgh Uni and phoned last night to say she was coming home for weekend, getting train this afternoon. Told her the trains might be busy with folk getting a head start on their fellow commuters, that was before I read it would be shut for 24hrs from midnight, now extended to 3 weeks+ :shock: .

The bit on the BBC website says that it'll be open for emergency vehicles, wonder if they'll allow cyclists across it, they're not going to put any load on it?
Mind you H&E will kybosh that, general public must be protected.
