Deryck here, knackered on a monday as usual from heavy cycling on a Sunday.I live in the Fens of Linconshire England.. .Been cycling (racing touring and traveling, falling off) for 30 or so years since I was 16. Last big falling off came in northern Spain only 20 ks into a planned week long tour of the Picos when I slid off on a railway crossing and broke my hip. The ambulance had to move rapidly shortly after getting to me as a trian came down the line it was parked on. Now recovered and back to cycling with additional metal implants holding the hip together, surgical steel, couldnt get them to use titanium. Have Six bikes ,some of them ridable but I am always borrowing bits form one to complete the other. Currently riding my reformed 1960's Hetchin's, had it since new.
Favorite cycling place Peak district ,Derbyshire UK. or Spain
Stopped riding Time trials ten years ago to concentrate on some searious posing.
Think I will complete a sort course Tri this next year when I have learned to swim, are you allowed to walk along the bottom?

If you ride like you dovetail...no worries mate.....
Nice furniture on your site.

I myself try to struggle with both but not that great with either.
Started riding again myself after a long absence.
