I had a test fitting of my first bike in over 30 years and even managed a 50 meter test ride. My daughters have been ribbing me that I would fall off but it's amazing how quickly it all comes back. When they once you've learn't.....

I'm quite pleased with the bike an end of season model reduced from £850 to £670 and then a further discount for cash to £600. It looks nice too.

    It's amazing how fast it all comes back, you have already changed from miles and are now working in metres, well done :D

    All right thinking Brits think that way. Miles if it's a long way and metres if it is a short distance. No country mixes its units like Britain and long may it remain that way. Nothing to do with cycling!
