Just thought I'd say hello. Recognise some users from the other forum over the road but for everyone else. My names Tony been cycling for years, drive a truck for a living so have quite a good take on all things road wise and how motorists and cyclists interact with one and other. I also ride for the Manchester Wheelers. Looking forward to getting stuck in.

Thought I'd say Hi before it's assumed I'm not a real person!!
Hi, my Name's Liea and I've been slowly bimbling around the lancashire/cheshire area for a few years now with occasional forays further afield. I live & work in Wigan and cycle to work most days. Dora is the name of my current main squeeze - a 2010 Dawes Horizon "exploring" bike (Dora D. Explorer...see?
)
Anyway, lovely to see so many North West cyclists on here - especially loads from the Wigan/Leigh/Bolton areas.
Looking forward to joining in.

Alright, I'm Mike from central Manchester. Have never been a massively serious rider, but since the theft of my last bike a few months ago and subsequent purchase of a new replacement, the girlfriend is now insisting I go out on it more often and justify spending 'our' hard earned money.
Done a few 30-40 mile rides recently and thinking of maybe joining a club in the new year sometime around Spring. If anyone has any suggestions with regards to any clubs in the Manchester area that perhaps dont take things all that seriously / not a competitive racing team, then that info would be greatly received.
I should be taking part in the Lewis Balycki memorial ride on Sunday in Preston along with the girlfriends younger brother (who is into his Triathalons) so if I collapse trying to keep up with him... it was nice knowing you... I believe the weather is going to be appalling. Cant wait!!
Anyway, 'nuff waffle from me.

Hi all, I just signed up. I'm a fairly new cyclist, I started cycling in Spring. I cycle to and from work everyday which, to be honest is just a 10 minute walk from me. But since I got my bike I hate walking and want to cycle everywhere now. My sister and I go on cycling day trips with her hubby and daughter, which is basically cycling around the woods all day which, is a lot of fun.
I recently did a Bikeability course, which was brilliant. Was surprised to hear adults could do it too, and what we learned was so valuable. I wouldn't be cycling on the road if I hadn't have done the course.
I've only just started to wear my helmet every time I go out on my bike. I felt really silly in it at first, but now I don't feel right without it.
Anyway, I'm 40 years old, am married and we have three grown up children.
I'm hoping to join in lots here.

Hello all!
I've just got started cycling again after a short 24 year break.
I bought myself a Cannondale Mountain Bike with a plan to get get fitter, then attempt some off-road stuff.
I'm based in North Wales, just outside Wrexham, so I've got great access to some superb trails.
So far I've ridden Moel Famau, and The Marin, but I do most of my rides at Llandegla
I'm looking forward to having a read of the forum, and chipping in with my comments and questions.
