loyal-blue Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I fancy getting a bike. Not too confident with the whole junction/roundabout/signalling/looking round while moving though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyblair Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Since this has been brought back to life I will join in. I have decided to take up cycling to get a bit fitter and have just ordered this bike which I get on Friday:- Have gone for the SPD pedals and all that and am a bit concerned about forgetting I am attached to the pedals and keeling over!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyblair Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 i'll be looking out for you on the A904 I will be using the Queensferry to Linlithgow route as a training road. About 12 miles from one to another, will probably cyle from my house to the Star & Garter and turn around at the roundabout and head back. More likely to use the Threemile Town road as it will be less busy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_K_97 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 My mate and I have both started cycling a lot again because it's now summer. However, I suspect we won't as much when it's winter and we'll both have passed our driving tests by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take a wee bit of getting used to but if you do fall off because of your feet being stuck in the pedasls you probably wont be going very fast. its a slow motion fall! more embarassing than sore .

Unleash The Nade Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Anybody doing the Pedal For Scotland - Glasgow to Edinburgh jaunt next weekend? I am but chose to do it on the 12th September,as that's when the events arranged for!! If you look at a thread I started about this a few weeks ago,you'll see Perthshirebell's desperate to offer sponsorship to anyone taking part. With regards to new bikes,I bought a Specialized Crosstrail Comp through the cycle to work scheme a few weeks ago. Bike cost £660,but will only pay around £335 with Vat & tax relief deductions. Can thoroughly recommend it as mainly for road use,but sturdy enough for some decent off road as well . Have become hooked and doing about 80-100 miles a week. Great fun zooming past all these nuggets oot jogging 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware anyone else - VAT relief only good where your employer is VAT registered and will reclaim it for you. Good deal otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Up you, Reina!! 27 miles today, that's 96 overall this week. I'm looking to break the 100 mark next week! my friend who is 14 has done nearly 90 miles in one day before. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I presume you're in Edinburgh (could be massively wrong)-where do you do your cycling? I live in Larbert,which is about 3 miles from Falkirk and just next to Stenhousemuir. Mainly cycle around this area,which has quite few good routes and cyclepaths,including ones alongside F&C and Union canals,but find them a bit flat & boring 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
