you u.r.c lot, yous are all to blame. Several months of lurking here
have had a worrying impact on my behaviour. My symptoms include:
- not always riding within cycle lanes, expecting to be
treated as a vehicle rather than an obstacle, and other
such unreasonable behaviour
- signing up for bike maintenance classes
- thinking about maybe one day possibly perhaps getting some
more cycling-appropriate clothing
- writing to the council about cycle parking (lack of)
- contacting my MP about the helmet bill
- having a conversation with my otherhalf to see if we
could do without a car (we can't for now, but in the
future ... ?)
- having vague far-fetched day dreams about one day going on
cycle touring holidays (may take some years to acheive the
necessary state of fitness and the necessary ££ for decent
bikes instead of our current cheapo hybrids and for son-and-
heir to learn to ride without stabilisers, but a girl can
dream ... )
- becoming aware of the mysterious worlds of bibs and bents
(tho I could probably have done without the bibs,
particularly some of the pictures)
I have gone from being a normal bike-gathering-dust-in-the-
hall kind of person, to the kind of person who might one day
be known as a cyclist. As of now, I am at the interim fat-girl-on-
bike stage. Most of my bike riding is short local trips but
as the weather gets better longer family bike rides will
start happening.
So, this is by way of my de-lurk post. Hello.
