I am considering a bit of a lifestyle change. After a few years of living in villages (population 400) I am considering moving to the city again.

Anyone made this change and regretted it?

I have great mountain biking (xc) and road riding right on my doorstep, clearly I'll lose this, but there is an alternative.
Currently I have a garden for the dog which I will lose, if I'm lucky I'll get a terraza or balcony and I'll spend more time with her.
I'll have less of a commute...

Help me decide, please???

Just by thinking about it should tell you lots. If you were happy you wouldn't be..

If it's Madrid, I'd do it in a shot - you can take your chances biking round Casa de Campo. I was really looking forward to city life, that's on hold now. You gotta give life a good mix-up from time to time...

Make a list of all the good and bad things about village life and city life. Be honest with yourself about the reasons for changing

Yes, it's back to Madrid or more Alcobendas as I need to be on the edge of the built up stuff for the dog. I used to live in the city centre and it was great, except for the noise, everything pretty much within walking distance. Casa de Campo is also interesting and I believe quite good for cycling too. I used to do some rowing on the lake there! 3 strokes, turn, 3 strokes, turn, repeat until dizzy!

Good point, but there are also external factors which have forced the issue.

That's what I'm trying to do and a little exta help is always good. 😉

Excuses for the bump! 😀

Any stories of woe or joy?

I'd avoid if you have ASBO dogs. 🙂

Just starting the process of trying to go the other way (though ultimately, it's just *back* to village life, having grown up in rural Oxfordshire).

I crave peace, and space.

5km from the nearest living soul just waiting for the first knobber who can't see far enough ahead or control a bike to ride through the off piste turd. 😆

How can she be an IDIOT when she's only doing what's natural?
