Cant we help please

It'll be more a case of just the opposite! (unless you meant the forum and not riding).

Hello Helen and welcome!
Once the bug bites, you'll be a lost soul, like most of us poor fools here!

There's tons of good advice and experience, plus lots of laughs, so post/ask away.

The bug has definitely bitten at the moment. I can get a new bike through the cycle to work scheme in May so am dithering about whether I can justify getting another bike. It's very tempting! I could really do with a ladies frame so I can cycle in a skirt after using the showers which are a 5-10 minute walk from my office. Actually, reading that it does seem a bit ridiculous. Spend £300 to save 5 minutes a day!

BUT! What cost your health and sanity?
If the bug really does bite, you'll sign up for a forum jersey/bib shorts, make actual plans to meet virtual forum friends, and have a jolly old chinwag in the Tea Room!

You'll love it, Helen, and your holidays will be spent trekking round the TdeF route!

And your point is? 5minutes is 5 minutes

And new bike is lots of fun

Nice one Helen, you can support the under-represented and ill-treated female contingent on here!!

Exactly...hello Helen!! New girl!!!!

Under-represented maybe, but surely not ill-treated?

 

[HelenD123]

Thanks for the welcome Cathryn and Punky. We definitely need to increase the female contingent. Keep all these men in check

Ooh yes please - do keep me in check

 

[Dayvo]

We definitely need to increase the female contingent.

Great idea!
Contact all your friends and tell 'em to get down to the CC forum!

Note to spandex and Velvet Curtain! This is MY recruitment drive, you go and get your own!

Note to Dayvo! A recruitment drive when undertaken on your own is called Internet Grooming.

Under-represented maybe, but surely not ill-treated?

Actually...no....treated with much gentlemanly kindness generally!

Okay, you've shamed me into delurking! I've been thinking for a while I must get round to joining rather than just reading. Couldn't think of a witty username so, yes you've guessed it, I'm Helen!

I've finally started cycle commuting in the last few weeks. Wish I'd done it years ago! 8 miles each way seemed a scary prospect but I'm loving it. I'm usually very loathed to get out of my bed in a morning but am gettting up way earlier without a problem when I cycle. Hope the novelty doesn't wear off...

I approve of the idea of that, I too want to cycle in a skirt but I'm trying to do it on a normal frame ... so far without much luck... welcome Helen.

Damn. That's would have been a much better username!

I'm afraid of flashing more than I'd like my colleagues to see if I use my current gents frame!
