  1. Since I recently started cycling to work more frequently than I used
    to, I have discovered that I can no longer wear a certain pair of
    jeans without a belt to hold them up!

  2. As your enthusiasm grows you will find your current bike also decreases in
    it's effectiveness as you are exposed to the advertising blurb for all those
    shiny new machines. Oh and then you'll need a mountain bike and fixed gear
    for the winter, something ultra light for the summer, all the latest us
    postal kit, clipless pedals, ultegra upgrade for the road bike. Cheap? No
    but what else do you spend your money on?

    Certainly not on bikes or cycling. 🙂
