I suppose I have to admit to having been a lurker and it's time for me to come out at last - "my name is Dewi and I need my regular fix".
58-year old fixie commuter, but nowhere near London. 6 of my 8-mile daily commute are offroad on a tarmac Sustrans route onb a disused railway bed which some of you may know about - Lôn Eifion, which runs from Bryncir to Caernarfon.
My house is 8 miles east of Snowdon as the crow flies.
In the shed are, and the list goes from least to most often ridden:-
1 Steel Graham Weigh audax bike Triple Veloce
1 Raleigh fixed conversion 531ST tourer (Raleigh Classic??) Can't actually remember, I stripped and repainted it years ago so no decals. 75 GI
1 Raeigh 501 track/road bike drilled for front brake. 72
1 Charge Plug to get me into the Hipster generation - I know it's overpriced but at the time with the Ride to Work discount, I decided to go for it - it's great. 69
I've got a pair of VANS but ride in Shimano SPDs and can't do skids, so make of me what you will.
If I've made any spelling mistakes, I have the excuse that English is my 2nd language!!
