Yep, I'm from UK too !!
Are you sure? You sound like an American. Here's a simple test:
What is a tyre, a roundabout or a B&B? Where do you live and where is your favourite pub?

A tyre is something that you get when you're in your thirties. A roundabout is an ingenious trapping mechanism for American drivers and also a gladiatorial ring where heavy goods vehicles joust with passenger cars. A B&B is the attempt by closet Communists in the UK to revive the old Gulag Spirit. My favourite pub is a café as I recently started to get bad reactions to some alcohol... not all, but some beers and wines don't play nice with me anymore. Rather than play 'russian roulette' I've decided to stop drinking.
I live in London, have dodgy knees, am also very old, have become horribly unfit as of late (I never had a double chin in my life before, and now I have more than I can count) and am optimistically building/rebuilding a number of bikes way beyond my current capabilities.

Welcome aboard. I'm not from the UK, but am a keen Anglophile. Have toured fairly extensively in Britain. Love the Welsh borders, the Big Smoke. And everywhere in this precious stone set in a silver sea.

just moved here from berks and getting out in the south downs is great, some really nice hills and amazing scenery - when you break the crest of a hill and see the sun shining on the sea just below you its just the best. usually try and do around 20k a day. anyone living in the area keen to get together to ride?

Hullo! im from the Staffs/Derbyshire border originally but am now in Kiwi-land. The Peak District was GREAT mtb country, even with all the regos they put on trails in recent years :P. I was in the white peak area which had some great singletrack through the moorland. :D

Hi fellow UK-bikers! :)

Good day to all :)
I've just arrived in UK two weeks ago from Malaysia to study. Used to go off-road back home with a few mates occasionally and picked up road riding from working part-time in a bikeshop (bikepro). The boss was kind enough to lend me his Pinarello Prince to join a team relay duathlon in which I finished 50km in a very unimpressive 2 hr 20+ min.
I'm hoping to give road cycling a go over here and improve my riding...but that will have to wait until I get enough money for a decent bike :(
Anyway, I'm currently in Watford living with my uncle before moving to Uni of Hertfordshire's student accommodations on the 18th of this month.
Pleased to meet all of you :D
Cheers
