Hello and welcome Rachel. What is your classic road bike? I'm onto such things, do tell how you came by it.

Hi there, I saw it on ebay and it was only about 40 miles away, its a Peugeot road bike, man's frame but I manage it ok.

Great! Just goes to show you can get just as much pleasure from an old classic bike as you can from a carbon one costing megabucks. All I can get down here are the rejects that the rest of the world throws away, but I've managed to pick up some great stuff. In fact nearly bought an old peug a few weeks back from the mid eighties. Be nice if you could post a pic. Have fun.

Sure you need new wheels? Might be possible to sort out the old ones if they're just a bit buckled.

Sure, the weather here is always warm and nearly always sunny but sometimes when its 34c+ you can get dehydraded quickly. Interesting place but give me good old UK any time.

Hi Shaun, I'd welcome your comments re cyclists trying to emulate Bradley and the Olympic brigade. I live in Shropshire and drive a car. ( far quicker than any limits, whilst safely, but thats my pleasure ). This weekend we had quite severe early morning fog - car headlights and fog lamps required. I was amazed to see some idiots sporting go faster, non reflective, Bradley gear without any front or rear lights on their racing bikes!! I know they are trying to emulate their heroes but I hate for them to end up in the same place as Tommy Simpson. Put some lights on please - it is the poor motorist who will get the blame and the mental anguish for driving at speeds below the limit in such harsh conditions.
