yes I know all about spinning and cadencing and FIT to the bike!

I rode a racing style l/w bike, to work, for over 15 years, even in winter*, with winds blowing off snow I could see on the hills nearby! And starting the ride home *in the dark, 9 miles in and 9 miles back!

Narrow 7 on the back, 3 sunwheels, kevlar tyres, kevlar strips but car type valves. Dropped bars, made for me seat, and a made to fit me Reynolds frame! Swiss 'dog-cutter-head' pump!

Plus!

A GOOD generator with (DIY'd) battery switch-in for whenever I stopped, LED ripple rear red light and arm-band lights, as well as the usual rear light!

Proper bike-rider longtailed weather jacket breathable laminate and reflective, water-proof winter booties over the toe-clips, touring cycling shoes I could WALK in, and big breathable cross-country ski-ers mits, so I could still change gear, knitted polypropylene wicking gloves, undies, balaclava, and socks.

Diy'd helmet mount rear-vision mirror!

'Kay?!

I was fit, bouncy, cocky, and whip-cord thin!
