Used to cycle a lot when I was younger, I haven't touched my bike in over a year. Tried it out for the first time last week and felt like death after 4 miles. After 7 I couldn't move anymore, looks like I have a lot of work to do this summer

Yesterday, for the first time my clip-ons caused me to fall off.

Stopped by the band stand in Newbury, and forgot I had to unclip my feet from the bike. Nothing beats falling over for no apparent reason! Next time, unclip before stopping....

I much prefer the thought of cycling to running Don't really have anywhere to store a bike though and can't afford a decent one though which is a shame. I used to cycle absolutely everywhere when I was younger!

Yep, you still have to run downhill

Keep it indoors? Under the bed, in the bath, standing up in a corner, ...

Remember kids, always wear a helmet.

Yesteryday I (apparently) came off my bike whilst I was doing 30 down a hill. My helmet took muct of the impact, but it was about 20 minutes before I came to.

My head hurts today...
