Hi, been lurking for a while and decided to finally join up.

I'm 44, overweight but reasonably fit and live in Stoke-on-Trent, England.

I've ridden primarily road bikes for leisure since I was about 21, but 11 years ago I moved from half a mile from where I work, to 7 miles away, so began to commute and switched briefly to an MTB and then to Hybrids.

I currently have 3 bikes on the road, my last roadie, a cheap Raleigh R:100, a Carrera Subway 1 (will continue to be my winter/wet commuter), and a brand new Scott SUB 30 (summer commuter).

Welcome to Bike Forums.
11 years of commuting might be some kind of record.
Post some pics of your rides.

Here you go, excuse the horribly contrasty phone pics, the sun had only just come up.
