A new thread about cycling
Lummer:
I ride my bike everywhere, basically.
I don't have a driver's licence, and I'm growing doubtful about whether I'll ever get one. Danish car taxes are absolutely unreal, plus the fact that I'm moving to a big city in a little while speaks loudly against owning a car.
Plus, the part about cycling giving a finely sculpted ass is true.
Barmymoo:
I'm jealous of you guys, I live in an extremely rural hilly place and not only are the hills too steep to cycle up, the roads are also always covered in bits of spiky bramble and pebbles and stuff that the tractors knock off. Also I don't fancy coming round a corner downhill and having my brakes fail just as I meet a car/tractor/milk tanker.
I cycle a lot in the summer though. One year we went to France and we cycled 50 miles in two days. I went back to school and told my teacher (I think I was about seven at the time) and they didn't believe me, but it was true. I've never been so tired, or so tanned.

There's an amazing bike shop in Boulder that I went to last month. It's University Bicycles, so if anyone's living around Boulder, CO and looking for a nice bike, I definitely recommend going there. We brought my boyfriend's sister's bike there and there was talk of getting everyone a bike of their own.
I don't know where we'd ride them, as we live in a rural place and mountain biking seems a bit extreme. The sister mentioned above goes to her friend's house to ride because they have a track near their house.
Cernunnos:
I just fell on my bike for the first time in years. It was great. I guess the road's shoulder was smaller than i thought! I am trying to get in enough shape to cycle to my internship which is a town and a bunch of hills away. But it's getting much better.
greenMonkey:
Yeah, I went on a 12.5 ride yesterday (short for me, I didn't have the time or energy to do a longer one) on my old bike (I'm waiting until I get my shoes to do any serious riding on my new bike). The roads near my house are really crazy hilly. In 12.5 miles I had at least 120 ft of elevation change. I looked it up online at mapmyride.com, which is useful for figuring out distances, routes, and elevations.
