not had a bicycle for about 13 years when i purchased a 2nd hand Giant MTB a year or so ago. told myself when i'd lost 15kg i'd get myself a roadbike like i used to have when i was a much slimmer kid.
first commute today on my 2011 trek 1.5. can't stop grinning. hottest day of the year in the UK so far, so obviously, had to cycle hard to muster up a breeze
