I was thinking about this the other day, that I can ride for a long time, I would ride all day if the day didn't get in the way!
I have also been having vague thoughts lately of maybe joining some...

I came across this article today, I couldn't believe what I was reading, that...

Nice bike! You look very proud of it :-) ugh, yes same here, I would much rather ride then clean the house!

For sure! I don't know why I waited so long to finally get myself padded shorts, my undercarriage was thankful too!

I am glad to read all the responses here over my small little dilemma, as like...

Hiya Valkyrie :-)

Yes, got my bike on April 22 and went out on it on April 24, I went a whole 6 miles that first day and thought for certain that I would die right there on the side of the road...

Hello :-)
Sounds like you had a good experience for your "second first time on a bike' and you are lucky to have your own in house bike mechanic/coach/cheering section too! Good thinking to get...

Oh my gosh, I actually read through all the rules and am pretty sure I see the authors :cool: blasting by me every morning where I ride!
I do believe that you are correct, there are no rules for...

Ha, yes! I have discovered the seam thing already, oww!

I started out cycling a few months ago wearing my old workout leggings and an assortment of $5.00 neon danskin tops from Walmart, with gum, chapstick stuffed in a tiny pocket in the leggings and my...

That is a good & smart thing to do, I admit that I do not use arm signals when I am on my MC. But you have made me think that I should do so in those same situations. If it alerts the driver coming...

I believe in all my recent memory of motorcycles, I've maybe only seen one rider on a vintage bike use arm signals & that was in America! MC's here use the directionals on their bikes to signal :-)

Ahhh, so that it explains it, thank you! Ugh, now when I get back, not only will I have to make sure I stay on the left side of the road for driving/cycling, I need to remember which brake is where!...

Yes it does! Its bad enough driving over here for me and riding my bike, especially round the roundabouts, can be yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes! And that is in the park with a 20 mph speed limit! Doing a...

Err, yes, well, I had to google what "spinning" uphill means, now I also know what "mashing is too! Apparently I am not too clued up on cycling terminology :-/
I will find some videos of cycling...

Having been only riding all by myself around the back roads in upstate New York & maybe going through my 1 stop light town, I have now jumped in with both tires into riding with other cyclists and...

Thanks shootingstar, I will try that, it is very good advice.... I would like to be in a center of calm on my bike, that sounds very pleasant to me! Much better then the vortex of frustration and...

Good article Muirenn, thank you, I need this info for sure! I am actually in the midst of looking on eBay for a used bike ( I am in the UK for the rest of the summer) and am going to go to several...

My bike (Trek 7.2 wsd - straight handlebars) was fitted at the LBS, though when I would go uphill (before this all happened) I would throw my butt back off the seat and lean down and yes, I would...

I am a fairly new rider, been doing this for 3 months and starting almost a month ago, I got a very bad, well actually, very bad isn't even close to describing the pain I felt with this headache,...

Nice bike kernow!

Thanks kernowcyclist, glad to know I am not alone! We were in Cornwall in March, you live in a beautiful part of the country :-)

I am going over to London next week actually! I have been looking for a better used bike for over there on eBay, as the one I have there now is similar to a heavy walmart bike, I have never really...

I carry pepper spray in my pocket also, for that " just in case dog or even worse the just in case person ", as I also ride alone, though it wouldn't help much against a bear :eek:

Thanks :-) I am looking forward to going out in my new gear and it sure makes it easier to stay fit by doing something that I like to do.

Hello all, I am another new rider, I started cycling almost 3 months ago, originally for weight loss, now, because I LOVE riding my bike! I got myself a Trek 7.2 and it is absolutely my pride and...
