I cycle everywhere. I would do now if I had anywhere to go. We often see people out on their bikes when we go for our walks. I prefer not to go for a ride without having anywhere to go, but DH went with a group of friends every week before the restrictions were imposed. He went on his own the other day because I had a pain in my leg and couldn't walk far but he wanted to get some air.

Yes, we cycle, great exercise. At the moment, a lot of cycle paths are busy with people walking/ running, but the roads are great... nice and empty. Would definitely recommend.

Yes I cycle. I have a hybrid and graduated to a road bike. It’s great exercise and one’s fitness increases tremendously. Keep at it.

Gave up my Motorcycle a few years ago and bought a car(so I could help dd with grandsons etc)

I then bought second hand mountain bike which was ok,.
But have not progressed to a ladies Treck tourer bike.

Has anyone else got a pedal bike?
Do you go on any adventures smile

My friend and I took our bikes on the train to Lytham St Annes last year and cycled way up the prom for miles, it was lovely cycling along with the sea on one side. We took a packed lunch e.tc

Looking forward to getting back out on it.Im not a racing cyclist lol just purely for pleasure.
