D3N0 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 It's not something that I'm in to now but definitely something I want to get into next Summer (hopefully)!I never thought I'd be back on a bike, but ever so glad I took it up like 2 years ago in the summer. Then just got hooked, plus saving almost £200 a month due to not usind public transport. Used to use the tube or drove, now cycle all year round except in the snow.
