That you can ride a bike when you only have one leg. And you can use the handlebars of said bike to sit your small child on.
Things I have learned today.

Some more....
1) I like having my front light on flash, I feel like I am in a disco.
2) There are more idiots on the road at night, I am a big woman in a hi vis on a bike with lights and refelctors - You cannot miss me!
3) There is something peaceful about riding in the dark
40 Cycling is good for me - 4lb off this week!

So much learning going on at the moment.
1) Counting 1,2,3,4 out loud is not stupid if it gets you up the hill
2) There are some lovely truck drivers who sit behind you for 200 yards rather than overtake when it is a bit close
3) Strava is not at all addictive.....
4) I can cycle to work in less than 15 minutes - it is now officially quicker to cycle to work as well as home in rush hour than it is to drive.

When you're more IT than the IT staff you just humour them.
And on Monday I learnt that the weight of the bike doesn't actually make much difference when you're going up a hill.
I managed the same distance on this bike
as I did on this bike
before I had to get off an walk.

I have caught up with these posts after returning to here. They are amusing and a relaxed lighthearted look at a hardcore sport. I started a similar type of thing last year called "My Firsts" and will be adding to it from his weekend when I take to the saddle. Keep it up and keep us updated.
I have been reading your firsts too

Some more for today.
1) My nemesis little incline that I call a hill but most people call a small hump can now be conquered with only 2 drops of gear
2) Doing 5 miles yesterday lunchtime set me up for the afternoon and evening, I felt brilliant.
3) Wearing size smaller Guide uniform is very inspiring

Isn't the Guide Leaders uniform different, or has the bike had that much of an effect?
