Posts: 58
Hi, im Mark and i thought id share a bit of happiness im going through at the moment !!! In 1991 i was knocked off my motorbike causing severe left hip and leg injuries basically causing me to be just about able to walk a small amount, but 18 month ago HEY PRESTO , i had a new metal birmingham hip shoved in and im back on a bike for the first time since 1991 lol the bikes are blooming marvellous to what i did own back then, i had a Holdsworth Challenger GT 1986 model i think, and a Dawes Imperial !!! good bikes then i guess but compared to my entry level Giant FCR 2 2009, they dont have a look in, just hoping the new "ip" holds out, cheers , Mark.

Truly inspirational. Well done for getting back on a bike.
I know what it's like to have a pretty serious injury. Not as bad as yours though.
So what's the next goal?Stumpjumper FSR 09/10 Pro Carbon, Genesis Vapour CX20 ('17)Carbon, Rose Xeon CW3000 '14, Raleigh R50

Next goal for myself will be keeping out there longer, probably 40 - 50 milers 3 times a week, just managing 20-30 miles 3 times a week at the minute though, still ok i guess for being back into it for about 3 month and then probably the great north bike ride then the coast to coast this time next year obviously lol probably knock a bit of cash up for charity etc good local paper news...." man with gammy hip rides a push bike a long way for charity" not muxh ring to it like lol0 -
