I think I'm in love with cycling :D How did I ever live with out it? :D

Cycling makes me feel alive. Is this normal?
The scent of these arm-pits is aroma finer than prayer

    Only if it is you doing the riding - if it isn't, it isn't normal!

    me too .... get really 'itchy feet' if I can't get out at least once during the week and both days at the weekend :)

    Not sure if it's the endo's, the fresh air, the wildlife, the thinking time .... or what it is .... but I LOVE it :lol:

    For me I've tried various forms of exercise over the years from running to martial arts (and I'm carrying a badly damaged knee from rugby years ago) .... and I find that I can cycle without my body feeling beaten up by the experience (like it does when I run).


    It's great to be .....

    Where you heading? I tend to get out your way from Leyton... admittedly been a bit relaxed of late - cycling on a hangover is cruel

    New year cutting out the booze and getting the miles in and waist down.

    Maybe see you on the long roads

    I'm new to exercising since a half marathon I leapedi nto in 2005 and that led to the full marathon in 2006.

    Got a cycle in summaer 2005 for commuting and away I went

    Got my knee bashed playing footie - no more that or running

    Cycling, as Songwriter says, the love grows
