Hello there.
Just to introduce myself ..................I am a retired 68 year old living in West Yorkshire UK. After many years withou a pedal bike I was given a Universal MTB (don't laugh) and found I enjoyed using it. I bought an old Dawes hybrid on ebay and enjoy that even more. I have many and varied interests including old motorcycles, dogs, campervan and voluntary work so I don't get to use my bikes much; it certainly isn't worth spending money on a better machine just now but maybe when I grow up ...............
I really enjoy reading the forums especially the technical threads. Much pleasure ahead!
