In the fight against laziness...

I've bought a bike!

Which came in the biggest box I've ever seen:

Went out on it yesterday 'for a bit' and ended up doing just short of 15 miles!

It was actually a lot more fun than I expected to cycle down a disused railway line! I expected it to be rather boring but I didn't do too bad. Kinda got lost out there, no idea where I was. Then I came to a road bridge that made me realise how far from home I was!

*edit*

And another 9 miles. Quite enjoying this (even with nettle stings). Will be even better when the Mrs isn't on crutches anymore!

Can't go wrong with Kona

How do you find cycling on the roads? My big tyres and suspension tend to mean only 20% of my energy goes transfers to the road

That looks like a nice ride. Old railway tracks are great, we have one here that goes for miles and is fairly quiet too.

I need to get myself a bike - although London's a **** place to cycle I have a lot of woods and parks around here that could keep me entertained. I actually love being on 2 wheels. I am uber lazy as well, so this might help!
