I been in this forum a long time (and loving it) but I gotta be honest with yall,I,m NOT a rider, , not peddlebikes anyway,I,m a trucker and usually in my free time I ride my Harley (95 softail custom) but I usta ride pushbikes as a kid and have always loved em,and my hobby is restoring them, it relaxes me and gives me a feeling of pride to take something trashed and save it ,well I,ve put on a few pounds lately so my new years resolution was to reduce the poundage by actually using my restored "Mitchell" and riding again (after 35 years ) , today was the big day, I rode up my street to the corner and back 3 times (woop de do basil) but I gotta tell you, that was a big deal for me, so from now on , each weekend I,m gonna go further and further until I get fitter,and further away lol,so , it begins, Wish me luck coz I,m gonna need it !
