    Pub bike?

    You don't need to. Pub bike. Noun. Bike that can be taken into town
    and will always be left well alone. For comparison see top banana
    racers or trick mountain bikes.

    Ah, gotcha.

    I'm thinking about a town bike. Certainly can't take mine into
    Cambridge. On the very odd occasion where I have to, I'm on edge until
    I get back to it.

    I feel like that about mine, so it goes in Park street cycle park.
    Covered by CCTV, and locked with a big lock.

    I still fret, but thus far it's always still been there when I've gone back.

    Spinning is where you choose a reasonably easy gear but focus on
    increasing the cadence, up to about 100/105. This is easier on the
    legs and so far more endurable. You legs can wear out during a ride,
    unlike your heart and lungs.

    I think I do this anyway most of the time.

    I was hanging around in the Ben Heywards repair shop earlier this week
    and a guy came in, his "pretty expensive" MTB had been nicked from the
    Parkside Pool/KK cycle park the day before. I think that's the cycle
    park you're talking about?

    Um, don't think so, no - but I may be wrong :-)

    Parkside pool is a long way from Park Street car park (which has cycle
    parking on the lower level of it).

    There's reality checkpoint, the bus station, another park, and king
    street, between Parkside Pool and Park Street car (and bike!) park ;-)

    Nah. That's Parkside (next to the Rozzers). Velveeta means "Park St"
    up the other end of town, round the back of the Round Church/Baron of
    Beef/Mitre*

    I prefer my 70s fixer Carlton

    cheers
