The bike!

Took the new bike out for a spin today, it is so quick I actually frightened myself a little bit!

My last bike was a solid steel framed thing with pretty chunky hybrid tyres. This one weighs about half of what the other did. The only compromise is the fact that with the sleeker tyres I'm going to have to get used to being rattled around!

I believe it's only when you ride a bike that you fully appreciate just how bad Britain's roads are!
