New to all this, but hello 👋

[Old dog new tricks]

The last bike I sat on was our lads’ old Tomahawk back in the day when riding to school was the norm and kids had absolute disregad for risk and social convention.
I know jack little about cycling to be honest but have purchased recently a women’s ‘vintage’ Raleigh bike circa 1970’s which I hope will transport me back to the glory days of my youth and forward to the body of a post pandemic goddess...
I have found lock down tough and I’m not ashamed to say my mental health has taken a bit of a bashing.
A friend of a friend of a friend recommended this site and said I needed to get off my fat a@@@.
So here I am: available for general chat and inspiration. Real deal cyclists please do not be offended - you have my respect and go safely on your way.

Real deal cyclists please do not be offended

Anyone that gets on a bike of any type is the real deal.

Hello there. Plenty of threads on here from people just starting out.
Don't try going too far at first. Little & often is good. You're starting at a good time of year, the weather should be kind to you.
