Does anyone cycle?

I cycle …..my only form of transport ever apart from buses and trains

We don't see many cyclists here despite special lanes, etc. Most places are too far to cycle to for us oldies. We need better public transport.

Too dangerous here. What cycleways we have no-one uses as they cause punctures to their bikes and the roads have terrible potholes at the side. I used to cycle to work years ago and loved it.

Myself and Dh have a three wheeler urmstongran.
We have great fun on them.
We don`t ride them on the roads though far too dangerous.

Did you buy your three wheelers from a shop timetogo2016?

No, I recycle. DH has an exercise bike I've never even sat on. Too many steep hills and narrow lanes around here.Though we are on the Coast to Coast cycle route and a couple have electric bikes.

Yes I cycle and I’m a member of a road bike club. It’s great and very good exercise. I haven’t done much yet this year as been waiting for the weather to improve. I’ve been going to spin class twice a week to try and keep my fitness levels up. Spin classes are tough. Would much prefer to be out on the real bike.

I cycle a lot but because of health reasons I now use my super electric bike and can go the miles. We live just over the bridge and put the bikes on the back of the car and go to Wales to cycle, just love it over there, find cycling a bit boring in my local area. )Maybe we will see you one day Karmalady

I love the bike!

We bought MzOops an electric bike to get her to her nearest shop, up a steep hill, then downhill for about 2 miles, down in Cornwall, apart from having to keep it in the sitting room at the moment, she loves it.

I have some lycra, purely for practicality, I have nothing to prove in my eighth decade, lycra is very comfy.

I wish I had been a serious cyclist in my younger days, like my husband but better late than never. On my own now, I learnt to maintain my own bikes and I have three. Kona coco, a very nice hybrid bike with tyres that will not easily puncture during hedge cutting season. A kalkhoff ebike that we bought in 2008, still going strong and very nice to ride when I want to go further. My latest bike is an islabike a janis road bike. Put away for winter now

I have hills all around in every direction and always come home sweaty, which is good. If I want a longer easy ride, I need to lift a bike into my car and travel to the somerset levels. The coco weighs 12.5kg and the janis is 11.5kg. I can still do that lifting

I carry puncture gear on my janis as it has skinny tyres. I carry a tool kit for my kalkhoff after a rubbing mis-alignment that caused my battery to die a long way from home at the top of a very steep hill. It was a long walk home that day. The rubber on my back tyre actually melted. I did change tyres and inners on that bike and they were a real b**ger to get on, had to use ties, they are now marathon schwalbe

I am looking at the forecast for today but rain is forecast and strong gusty winds. Oh well, onto my rebounder instead

I’d need a 3-wheeler.

I have ear/balance problems, but we have many cyclists around our country lanes.
The ‘proper’ Lycra clad cyclists who ride 4 abreast in the road and yell to each other as they whizz past, most of them sporting video cams on their helmets and wearing sun glasses.
Then we have the families on sunny days with little tots attached to their parents bikes with some kind of link.

They all seem to be having fun.
