Awesome stuff Nhatt and Claire ... just wish I had time to post more these days, goddam new job!!
Anyway, I was introduced to the forum by the other half, by means of a few trips to Wests ... and having probably not ridden more than 20 miles in as many years, I was duly handed over to the safe pair of hands that were Clefty, Jayloo, Stix and miss_socks for the Attack of the 50 fixed women June 09. I was on a vintage BSA ladies racer, 5 speed, practically made of scaffolding it was so heavy. But it was a beautiful mint green ;p. I was buzzing more than a bee in a happy place when I got home having managed to do the whole ride from Buck House to Richmond Park without walking!
I now have three bikes (see ladies bikes thread). Over the past 2 months I have begun commuting from Ealing to Knightsbridge, absolutely loving it despite a bump here and patella tendonitis there. I would seriously recommend cycle training, no matter what level you are - I have had a couple of sessions, see the general cycle training thread.
I have learnt so much from this forum, and met some really great people, I'm looking forward to more!
