I've just joined and I'm from the UK. I'm living in Hampshire at the moment and do a lot of my riding on the South Downs. Anyone else South Downs regulars?

By the way, can anyone tell me how to update my forum picture please?

Hi Jonmar Just joined, Prestwick also.

I just registered....

Hello Gordy.1888 Welcome to the forum although I am not on here very often I got mail to say you said hello. Just switched to a hybrid instead of my road bikes Cheers John.

Just joined and from Scotland. We can all thank another Scotsman for keeping us out of the mud:

Extract from Wikipedia:

John Loudon McAdam (21 September 1756 – 26 November 1836) was a Scottish engineer and road-builder. He invented a new process, "macadamisation", for building roads with a smooth hard surface that would be more durable and less muddy than soil-based tracks.
Modern road construction still reflects McAdam's influence. Of subsequent improvements, the most significant was the introduction of tar (originally coal tar) to bind the road surface's stones together – "tarmac" (for Tar Macadam) – followed later by the use of hot-laid tarred aggregate or tar-sprayed chippings to create better road metalling. More recently, oil-based asphalt laid on reinforced concrete has become a major road surface, but its use of granite or limestone chippings still recalls McAdam's innovation.

Hi and thanks, will look out for a hybrid when back on my bike ( mine is a yellow customised Bianchi so stands out a bit lol)

Hey, everybody, it's nice to register here!
I used to live in Cardiff. Hope to communicate more with you guys!

I 'm from Dunblane, and yes, still part of the UK :)

I'm in the UK!

Swindon, Wiltshire 🚲🚲🚲🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Didcot, Oxfordshire :)

Quite a few from UK then. I'm from Dudley.

Manchester here

Wombourne here..........not far from Wolverhampton

Darkest Devon

I'm in Liverpool, I noticed someone back in 2004 said they're in the Wirral... İ Wonder if that person is still around....

I'm from Keighley in west Yorkshire - good that there's a UK sub-forum 😄

I'm also from the UK.

What I want to know is this: why is it that for every reply to this topic there are 286 views (as it currently stands)? That's a lot of people viewing and not posting?!? How is it that the UK part of this forum is so quiet?

Hello, I am from Hampshire, that's Hampshire in the UK, not New Hampshire! It's a nice place to cycle and you can find a mixture of quiet country lanes and rolling hilly countryside.

How many others are there from the UK on here? Would be good to see more people.

Me,I'm new! Live in London! I'm on here because there has been a Claud butler rusting in my mums shed for fifty years and before that in a corridor when I was about five ! I think it's older than me! The number is
7113502/ T if anyone knows what year that is? I think it's 52 but not sure! And I don't know what the T means,I think it's tourer but don't know ! It belonged to my uncle who gave it to my mum! It hasn't been ridden since the very early fifties! Although it's rusty in places everything still goes around without any discernible wear! Thinking of restoring it ,conflicted as to up dating or keeping as is with original parts? It has a dark royal blue frame and it's lug-less!

Good morning, sir.
If you haven't found them already, look for Classic and Vintage boards - they'll be able to help.
Have fun!

Another one here. Originally from South Cheshire but now living in Wrexham. Love my track cycling, so regularly at Manchester Velodrome at the minute. Will be Newcastle-Under-Lyme and Huyton when the weather picks up

I reside in Chester, just started on the bike scene at 70, mind it is an old 1914 sunbeam which i hope to restore with compassion.

Was in Cheshire, now about 10 miles west of the Cotswolds. Just finished building the above... thought the thread could do with some pictures.
