John in Leeds Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I like to share my 'sport' cycling with Sue. It's a wonderful way to tour especially with differing levels of fitness. We do about 40 miles a day loaded. You need a thick skin though, with all the ribald comments. If you ride the front though bravery is also an asset.

slug Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 wow- I havent tellied in years (My knee hurts just thinking about it). Snowboard when I can get out. Done with Alpinism, sticking to mostly rock here in the southeast with the occasional Western Alpine climb when I can get away from the kids. Although I do fish quite a bit in our lovely Appalachian trout streams. Anyone make a carbon fibre fly rod holder for a sport yet? 76024[/snapback] No, but put me in line for one if anybody does...

My best motorcycling [1979 BMW R80/7 called Erich] mate, who is also a fanatical cyclist, rides a 1930s butcher's lad's bike to work. We cycled to and over the Pyrenees a couple of years ago, and he rode a cheap supermarket bike, wearing a pale blue plastic mac most of the way! We made a lot of friends you wouldn't want to invite back home! This was doubly brave in a land where cycling is taken VERY seriously. I look forward to seeing more weird bicycles..........
