I don't mean the proper road cycling that dp does.
I bought a used hybrid from ebay and it's great I've only gone 5 miles up to now with dp (he bought himself a used one from the same guy when we went to pick mine up) Dp has a proper road bike but I won't be getting into that.

There's a great cycle path that goes straight to my mum's and it's 5 mile round trip. It takes around 15 minutes to get there at the moment and would take me an hour by bus as I'd get 2. I only have to cross 2 roads and I'm there.

I've been looking at other local cycle routes so will try them out too.

Check out this site I sent for the cycle packs for us and the dcs.

I'm rather over keen when I get into something

Excellent! I felt like I'd just learnt as it's been 11 years since I rode one.

Keep posting on your progress
