A revelation!

Have been away visiting relatives, back at work tomorrow :( , and knowing that i wouldn't get a chance to ride until at least the weekend and with withdrawal symptoms setting in i asked if they had a bike. They did! It was a very sad and rusty 15 speed raleigh MTB. So spent 30 mins freeing the brakes and chain up and getting some air in the tyres and in just ordinary clothes and shoes i set off. The seat post had seized so couldn't get the seat up to a decent height, which caused my knees to ache a bit, but i thoroughly enjoyed it. Just goes to show its the riding that counts not what you ride. When i got back i spent another 20 mins adjusting and lubricating bits and pieces for next time i'm there (and left some oil to soak down the seatpost) :D
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.

    Agreed. A few months ago, I took my girlfriend's new bike up to her house as a complete surprise (she was getting really worried because I wouldn't talk on the phone for the few hours I was travelling). That weekend, she rode around everywhere, while I borrowed her mum's very old bike to ride with her. Still loved it.

    Agree entirely - get a ride in, don't worry about the bike itself
    What do I ride? Now that's an Enigma!
