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. 69I'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!!
Yes but --- the views are great but off road cycle paths aren't gritted, so I've chickened out in the last week or so and am going in my daughter's car, as we work in the same building. I'll have to HTFU again.
