Hi Folks, another new arrival here. I'm the slow one on the Pashley Roadster Sovereign that you all overtake (unless we're going downhill...).

Hi John if you are faster than a snail then you aint slow mate

 

[Bexmay]

Even if you are slow I bet you do it with style.

 

[Enid Agnus Dei]

Oh always in style Bexmay! sometimes the ride is more important than the speed.

Thank you Bexmay hope you are well.

 

[Bexmay]

Good thanks Just trying to decide on what bike to get! Exciting but also stressful Ha! Trying to find something thats both pretty and practical seems quite hard.

 

[Enid Agnus Dei]

Agree Bexmay! I only ride retro racers now in a way miss a mountain bike but the racers are my mid life crisis but they aint built for comfort!

 

[Bexmay]

Yep my last daily rider was a schwinn cruiser and so stupidly comfy that mountain bikes feel a bit wrong now. I'm sure I was faster on my cruiser too.

 

[Enid Agnus Dei]

I regret in a small way going from the comfort of a full suspension mountain bike back to a pair of retro races but the pros of them way outweigh the cons, faster, nicer to ride and the Europa always turns heads and gets comments to, when I first got it thought she was slow but now I'm used to her she is better on hills than my 12 speed.

Hi all, a new member from the Black Country Started cycling again at the age of 50, joined a local club bike club Stourbug (Stourbridge Bike User Group) and became hooked, have rode about 7000 miles and lost 4 stone in weight in 18 months since joing the club.
Own a Kona dew drop - a great allrounder and a old gary fisher hard tail mountain bike.
I just love it!
