What a relief!
My legs have lost a vast amount of power and strength, but I am also a stone lighter so that will have helped a bit.
Now what can I buy myself to celebrate getting off the tube and out of the car?
Has anyone got these? http://fibreflare.com/ Are they easy to remove from the bike at the end of the journey?

Got one. I like it. Fiddly to undo with gloves, so I leave it on, unless I've arranged to play light sabres.******

I'll be taking it off all the time then, light sabre battles all the time in my office0

I've got one and it's pretty good. I leave it on permanently as it hooks onto the bike using rubber straps, which don't look particularly long lasting.
However, it's not the brightest light out there, so I've got a Blackburn Mars 5 LED as well.
About light sabre fights: buy two and keep it strapped to your belt.Giant Escape R1

I had two Fibre flares - one developed a switch fault and no-one had stock so I got a refund. Water ingress caused corrosion in the switch. Just mak sure you fit with the switched section at the 'top'....
They are good, but by then I thought bugger it. Using two smart superflashes on my rucksack instead now.0 -

I stopped eating as much! The secret's out......
Made simpler by going to India for Christmas and new year and not having had a drink since Dec 19.
The trick will be to not raise my calorie intake massively now cycling again - then I can lose that last half stone as well.0 -

Surely you've lost weight thanks to muscle atrophy? I've been off the bike since Oct and haven't altered my eating (or drinking) habits, still lost weight though.- 2023 Vielo V+1

Perhaps a little, but I have altered my eating and drinking habits.0
