Cycling Thread

   I know that cycling is a popular second sport for sailors as it gives us something to do when there is no wind, and its also a fun way of getting / keeping fit. Thought I'd start a thread so people can post pics of their bikes and things and chat about cycling stuff!

I'll post some pics of my steed in due course!

	Hmm, mine has a steel frame, a Raleigh logo, full mudguards and battered/rusting basket on the front. The front wheel's a little out of straight. I do use it every day though, and might soon be doing the 10 mile each way trip to and from work on it two days a week whilst the train drivers refuse to work...

	Sold last summer I can't say I really miss it. It's amazing how uncomfortable they become the older you get. Cycling is now a method of getting to the sailing club allowing post sail beers to be had. Edited by ellistine

	I'll take some photo's of my 2 useable bikes later, the decent mountain bike and my cheap road bike i use for the 10 mile each way commute to the sail loft each day.
