so i think a thankyou is fair, thankyou.
haha. Im glad some of us have inspired you to get on the bike and have a go. Regardless of what bike you have or are getting, keeping active is crucial in a society where obesity reigns supreme. Doing it on a bike is just that bit more fun and who knows, you may just get your mrs into it too when she sees how good you look after a few months. I have noticed vast improvements in leg strength, muscle tone in my thighs and calves, and all round better lung capacity and well being. It's taken me 34 years to find a sports niche I liked and I think I have finally found it.
