As many may remember, I used to have a couple of Kickbikes. One of them went to a collegues daughter, who took a shine to it. The other went to a guy in the village who is going to do a 150km race in Iceland with his dog pulling him.But its like everything. You get rid of something that you do not use and shortly afterwards, you want to use it. 😉So I made a change from Kickbike and ordered a Yedoo Trexx from the Czech Republic.I will be setting up with some bags to do some light...Read more

On the commute https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/tales-from-todays-commute.105055/post-7567940I'm sure I saw someone else post one recently. It's been on since the bike was new, 10 years and at a guess 40,000 plus miles but still a bit of a surprise. They don't make them any more I think (5800) but surprisingly managed to score one off Ebay for a princely £80 and even in silver and 175 length (Yes, it's silver under the commuting crud). Probably worth getting a new BB...Read more

Mine was so good. (I did go for that ride...glad i did)Just over 20 miles, but since the rear ends a bit sore...Suns been shining here all day, 13 or 14 degrees, 15 mph winds made it a bit slow on the outrun, but fast home (20 -25 mph for 6 miles ). Very very glad i went....now i feel guilty about feeling good How was yours....

There are other threads on here where we can discuss our Zwift and Real Life Racing and give each other encouragement, p~ss taking, banter and knowledge sharing. I thought it might be good to have a thread where people can post up what workouts they are doing, how they got on and how they are progressing. It may even give a bit more accountability for the tough workouts.This opening post may ger edited as we go along if there are useful links or information.So post up the workouts you...Read more
