I have my cousin coming round at 6:30am for a bike ride tomorrow Seems you can take the boy out of the Paras...

Still cycling, Elton?

 

 

After a few years of riding mountain bikes, the mrs and I decided to get road bikes. Lots of research and looking at local bike shops later we decided on our local Giant dealer. Nice bikes and really good service. So, today we bought a Defy 1 and an Avail 1. Didn't really mean to spend quite that much, but we got a very good deal on them, so I'm happy with that. Pick mine up Tuesday, Katie has to wait a couple of weeks. Really looking forward to it!

Steve,

Steve, for that price you would expect some pedals.

 

I've just recently got myself a bike too so I could get out with my nephew along the canals, we done 8 miles today.

 

got an old Claude Butler mountain bike for £20 off a mate. His son doesn't ride anymore so got it all cleaned up with new tyres and Shimano ez fire gears, they are trigger and break level combo (I hate grip shift so much) all in all £65 to get a great, fast and light bike up and running.

 

 

Got to say ive really been enjoying it being out on it almost each day whizzing along the canal to see what I can see and feed a few secret swims

True, true! I think I'm going to have it fitted with clipless pedals.

You mean it really didn't come with pedals ?

[Steve Walker]

Yeah - some of them come with the sort of pedals with toe straps on them, but a lot of riders (probably most) will throw them away and fit the kind that you need special shoes to clip into so it's a bit of a waste.

[Andy_1984]

Special shoes!!!!!!

 

Mate ive just strapped a bungee cord around my cree led fishing torch to serve as a bike light after seeing the price of led's. I would hate to think what the cost of special clip in shoes might be
