Very nice, very nice indeed. I admire anyone who can cycle in that position. I'd end up cycling into a wall! Have you given her a name?

Ha h a , yes that position is going to take some getting used to I must admit , there's nothing wrong with my sit up a beg but it's really heavy & I want to cover some miles with my daughter at weekend & I haven't a prayer on that . No I haven't named her yet lol .

What about Rockette? So where will you put your French bread, your radio, etc? I hope you've got a bell.

Oh yes ! Lol

Very nice. I've got a mountain bike but this looks like some serious stuff - all power to you. I hope you get as much pleasure from your bike as I do from mine. Good luck and best wishes.

Thanks fitmo , I do a lot of cycling , mostly to & from work , shops etc on my hybrid but it's heavy . My youngest daughter & her husband go on longer rides & I find it hard work on my old heavy , so i decided to treat myself when the cycle to work scheme started again .
