Yeah, I love cycling. I don't ride as much these days though. Most of my bikes are classics like me
I'm in the UK and rode through 8 countries in Europe when I was 12 years old cycle touring along with my father. I then did it again at age 16 and started racing when I was 17. I mostly rode time trials and managed 22'06" for a club 10. I did a few mountain bike races but then joined the Royal Navy and represented the RN in both cycling and running.
As my bikes are all quite old they're mostly steel, although I do have 3 Aluminium mountain bikes - Marin full suss, Cannondale hardtail and an old hack that I built up for my father. My road bikes are a Peugeot 753 hill climb bike, Basso SLX race bike, Basso SL low profile TT bike and a Pinarello training bike that I've just fitted flat bars to so I can relax in a head up stance and enjoy the world.
