Hello
I live in the UK and I'm a married mother of 3. When I was younger I cycled everywhere on my racer. I did not go out on a bike for about 20 years. A couple of years ago I bought my dream bike but some gang broke into my home to steal it.
I now have a mountain bike which I don't like so decided to stop smoking and re save that money onto my perfect bike.
I pick up the new bike in September. My health is not great but I'm working to improve it everyday.
Look forward to reading your posts

welcome to the group. I managed to save most of the money for a recent new "dream" bike by adding up all of the money I "saved" by using store coupons and buying discounted items and then adding up thosesaved sums sums on paper. It took me 4 years but it was a great exerecisein shopping finesse and restraint. Good luck and yay for a healthier you on an excellent bike.

Welcome, and what a great plan. What is your dream bike right now?
What part of the UK are you in? My daughter (not a cyclist!) is going to graduate school in Chichester.
