Newby with nerves

[hebe]

Shamelessly bumping this as it's been six months since I started riding! I now have a mountain bike too, have run errands into town once (but will be doing that a lot more now as well as getting the off-road riding going again in the spring), and will be riding towing my dd in a trailer when we go on holiday soon.

And I'm about 8lbs lighter than 6months ago and looking forward to picking dd up from nursery on the bike later this year! My original bike now has a new saddle and a metal basket on the front, and I swapped the pedals with those on my mountain bike (the Marin pedals had more grip). I have ridden trails and paths on my doorstep that I never knew existed six months ago. And all of this with terrific, patient and wise advice and support from everyone on here. Looking forward to my bikiversary in August!

I think that's great Hebe, to be able to see how far you have come in less than a year.soon you will be able to look forward to teaching your daughter and riding with her. Still think you'll never race........
