i did, I rode a bike for just over 6 miles. This might not seem like a big deal, but its the first time in 2 years due to injury. Unfortunately it was a road bike, but ultimately I'd like to work up to riding MTB again, even if my bike is an Orange P7 on 26inch wheels and running a double and bash guard up front, which i understand wont work anymore and needs to be replaced with all carbon and funny sized wheels?

anyway, looking forward to losing the 2 stone I've put on and prancing around in lycra again. I might een shave my legs to celebrate!

Ban him. We don't do that sort of thing round here.

I've had a couple of years of health problems, but it only took me a few months from a very low base to get back to reasonable fitness. Good luck!

I have a P7, complete with those funny looking 26" wheels, unfashionable triple chainset, totally useless 1 1/8" straight steerer forks and boring shimano components.
Still rides brilliantly.

If you're struggling with shaving the pins, give us a shout, I've just sharpened the cleaver 😀

Wait till you've lost the weight before shaving the legs - smaller surface area...

But great to hear you are riding a bike. Pretty uncommon for folk on here, apparently.

Getting back on the saddle after an enforced hiatus feels great, doesn't it? Congrats!
