I am a retired teacher (= pensioner!).
I started cycling 20 years ago after being a heavy motorist for all my working life.
i gradually and slowly increased the amount I cycle…. It’s mainly commuting (not every day… and around 10 to 15 miles round trip). Sometimes a trip into the Peak District. One four-day cycling holiday … around 40 miles a day.
I am in Manchester - crime city for bike theft bar none. I’ve lost 14 bikes in my 21 years cycling. (That’s not including wheel thefts).
I have joined the site by chancel really… I came across a bike review in one of the forums whilst researching a purchase.
I’m researching a purchase since the last theft (a week ago): my first electric bike (Carrera Crossfuse) which I absolutely adored.
Replacing it is going to be monumentally difficult. I bought it before the pandemic… when there were huge discounts and massive interest-free loans. All that has gone since the worldwide shortage of electric bikes.
So… that’s me.
Feel free to say hello.
