For various reasons I've not been on a bike for about 3 months...

Thats the longest I've not been on a bike 🙁

So probably not the best idea to start riding again by having my first ride ever on a singlespeed ?!?!

I think it might have put me off for ever...

Tell me it will get better !

hey justa 🙂

I'm in a similar position - not been out in anger this year, not even done a commute - and am dreading the weight of my christmas belly on my legs! Of course, needing a new fork is slowing me down a tad.

And singlespeeding? It will get better!

I've been out 🙂 8am rides are good for fitting in with family stuff. Hard work tho getting out of bed to ride when it's still dark AT THE WEEKEND! I dunno about Singlespeeds (gave those up years ago), but it does get easier.

And every time you're knackered, and it's cold and wet and miserable, you're putting in hard time that'll serve you well for better days.

Not sure I could go out again Ton. Even the stairs look challenging!
