My lovely bike

I lost a lot of things when I got mugged a few years ago, but one of the hardest things to lose was my sense of safety whilst cycling. The years I used to explore London on my bike were incredible — I’d found a great use of my usually unfit body.

Knees also played a part in stopping cycling and wrists have prevented me from trying to reintegrate it back into my life. But recently I’ve been cycling to dad’s when I pop round for a coffee and I love love love the feeling it gives me. Hopefully as my wrists improve and I find the energy to do all the knee exercises, I’ll start going out further and further again — it’s been almost 2 years since I went for a proper ride!?
