After an 8-9 year abscence since I sold my trusty Peugeot 12 speed road bike, I've just returned
from my LBS where I've stuck a deposit down on a Marin Muirwoods, CatEye Lights etc.
I pick it up Tuesday and I must say, I'm really excited about it! I'm looking forward to the
excercise it will give me (better than staring at a wall whilst running on a treadmill!) and the
general experience of cycling which apart from very infrequent blasts on bikes of others, I have
missed for so long. Plus, I like to think I am doing something for the environment, not to mention
saving myself cash on the exhorbitant cost of motoring in the UK!
I imagine that the roads will be even more busy, with even more silly inconsiderate car drivers than
before, but someone tell me that riding in a city these days is not as much of a death wish as all
these non-cyclists keep telling me it is....
