As someone who is a relative lightweight it feels dangerous to ride in really high winds like we had earlier this week. Not to mention the wind is one of my major asthma triggers.

Scraping one off yer feet is waaaaay worse ...I can still feel the slug I stood on in bare feet t'other night

Nope, it's never too late to start.

I started cycling again last year after a near fatal chest infection and giving up smoking. I have 50% lung function left and although it's tough going my cardio-vascular fitness is improving. Don't seem to dropping much weight but then I'm only a 120lbs anyway.

I still get mildly sore legs after I've pushed myself in some way, like after Thursday's Clarion ride when we rode further than I have for the past 20yrs.

+1 for beer and/or tea stops on longer jaunts.

The benefits come relatively quick with a little application.

Happy pedaling Phil

I love watching Danny Macaskill. Awesome riding.

Yup, me...those black ones with elastic on the top

I don't even drive but have been known to put my bike lights in my bag when being picked up by a pal in a car.

I was so looking forward to having a cycle computer at last but have just had to take the Lidl one I bought this week back. Back to the drawing board.

Schexy!!

I wouldn't dream of inflicting my lycra/coolmax clad ass to the world and so wear regular shorts over my cycling shorts.

This puts me in mind of something a wise person once told me many moons ago...

...The older I grow, the more I recall, how little I knew when I knew it all.
