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!
Congratulations fatty!
Unfortunately it was a road bike
'twas a bike, that's all that matters 🙂
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 😀
Good news dude! ( the bike ride not the shaving of legs!!! )
Nice work. I did a little of that the other night - t'was blinkin great.
Spent half of today washing it mind...
good to hear it.......keep up the good work young man. 8)
Good work. Don't shave the legs though Winters coming 😥
LIKE! I wasn't into cycling when I broke my hip but I remember the first time back on the motorbike, great day, I just about sprained my face smiling.
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.
Good going, don't be ashamed!! (fellow P7 double bash)
Getting back on the saddle after an enforced hiatus feels great, doesn't it? Congrats!
