November 2014 - The inevitable change of steed


I found it!
The perfect bike!
I'll never need to get another one! (Said no cyclist ever) 
It was build like a road bike but robust enough to put up with my clumsiness. 
Why did I need a new one? Well, I had gone to get some advice from a local bike shop - I was getting sore arms and pain in the wrists. I figured I needed a bike fit so went along to ask those so much wiser than me. 
'Well the thing is, you need a small women's bike' said the chap, 'Yes' said I. 
'Well, you have a large man's bike' said he. 
'Oh!' Said I. 
The quest for a new bike began. 
I somehow managed to convince Sue to join me for a trip to Shoreham to take a look at the Invite. I rode it round and round the shop. It fitted like a glove. It was ordered there and then. 
Teresa joined me when I went to pick it up and somehow, we ended up bringing two home with us. Both proud owners of new bikes. 
More training was in order.
