I am 15 stone, and I have been suffering from Anxiety for 10 years. I think this is going to help me out a lot, and I feel like I am ready to take a big step in changing my mental and psychical health. I'm looking forward to being one with nature and seeing a lot of great views. The best thing about riding a bike is it makes you instantly 10YO again. Nothing to worry about but the trail in front of you, and trying to avoid encounters with gravel and dog shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like I have rediscovered a high I haven't felt in ages. I used to love cycling when I was kid and Teenager, and I am amazed I have been away from a bike for this long. Would rather run over through dog shite than deal with people talking shite on a daily basis lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both cases, a quick blast with a hose is the ideal way to get rid of em, but only really practical for your tyres, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reignman Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Having not cycled since I was a teenager I got a bike on cycle to work 5 years ago aged 28 for commuting, and I have used it almost exclusively for that purpose. Moved closer to the countryside late last year and when the good weather started this year got the urge to get out into the hills I could now see the sun beating down on from my house. Set myself a goal of getting from Bearsden up and over Crow Road over the campsies and back home and did it today, 39 mile round trip. Nothing compared to the real cyclists in this thread but chuffed with myself. Extra motivation from reading perthshire bells guff on this thread! Cheers! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday - 2 rear punctures on way in, got the wife to pick me up and take me back home at the end of the day. Wednesday - rear puncture on the way in to work, front puncture on the way home. Thursday - A puncture free ride in to work! After replacing both tyres on Wednesday evening and thoroughly checking the wheels for anything that might be causing the issue. Hopefully it's now resolved and I'll get some puncture free cycling! Update: 4 days of puncture free cycling this week (took the car on Monday). My legs feel totally drained but I'm loving it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Christ. I think that tubby creep spends more time on this thread than all the actual cyclists combined Adam Boulton absolutely reeks of a man who drives an Audi utterly seething at having to spend 10 seconds behind a bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statts1976uk Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Got my Di2 fixed at Leslie Bike Shop, a good clean out and all the cables reconnected seems to have done the trick. I think this started at the Etape Caledonia where the weather was chucking up lots of crap. Great job by the guys there and of course a quick 40 miler shakedown ride yesterday was in order! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statts1976uk Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 12 minutes ago, This time Perthshirebell said: But cyclists on this thread have called him "A fat f**k", "Gammon c**t", "utter wankstain" and a "heap of lard" and as well as wishing him a heart attack. That's why cyclists are - knock out the park - by far the angriest, most aggressive people in the world, and why we have Category 5 offenders offering up such hatred towards Mr Boulton. Well here at C.A.S.T we like to think of all road users as equals whether they are car drivers, cyclists, horse riders or similar and we strongly encourage discussion between all parties whether they drive budget Korean cars or expensive carbon fibre bikes. It’s all about positive dialogue! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsr Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 "The cycling community" . You're not a community! You're an unrelated group of people who happen to use the same method of transport.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Police hunting the Falkirk based cyclist that exposed himself to a woman yesterday. Can all Category 3,4 and 5 offenders please provide evidence of where they've been cycling over the last couple days. I can't think of anyone better qualified to find a creepy weirdo than yourself tbqh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Last week went cycling in Netherlands near Zandvoort and Zandwijk. Never cycled anywhere before but it was ace, great fun.Couple of small falls and scraped one of my knuckles to the bone but lots of fun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Went for a ride out west and down to Carron Valley this morning. Saw more cyclists than cars on the way - great to see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
