How I Came To Enjoy Cycling
Had a small bike as a young kid which I road round my road all the time (very quiet cull-de-sac). Got a bigger bike for xmas when I was about 10 I think (still single speed, but it had real tyres!), used that bike till I was 13 (mainlt paper round and riding to friends house) and then got a Raleigh Scorpio 5 speed racer (wow!) on which I rode for miles and miles. I also made a bike out of an old 531 frame, post bike wheels, and moped handle bars (most fun bike I ever owned). I did a lot of riding untill 18 when I got a car and the riding stopped overnight. Got a flat at 21 and had to sell the car, so got another bike (10 speed falcon racer) to get to work on, that lasted for about one year when I got another car. Became a father at 26 and also became a lot poorer as a result, so out comes the bike for the 11 mile trip to work. Apart from two years off due to cancer I've been cycling ever since (and still loving it). Strange thing is that until I wrote this I hadn't realised quite how little time I've been off the bike for. Both my folks and my sister have always cycled, maybe it's in the blood. Ross
