Thread: O/T The Sausage Bike!

Well had to share this with you all, specially the big un's!

I have not ridden a bike for over 20 years, I am almost 40 and weigh almost 21stone. When my husband got up yesterday and excited the kids saying we were going cycling 8 miles round a reseviour, I imaginged I would do alot of waiting about as I wouldnt cycle.

He loaded the 3 kids and thier bikes and his bike and off we went. On the way he gently suggested we have a look in the cycle hire shop there. I reluctantly went into the hire shop and said I wasnt even sure I could ride a bike but did they have anything remotely suitable. The staff were fab. They found me a very large mountain bike with fairly wide tyres and got the seat down and off I went and it was, well like riding a bike!Whizzing along with the wind on your face, I hadnt done that since a kid!

My children were so happy to see me joining in with them and we rode 8 miles yes, I rode every bit as well as anyone. We stopped half way for a diet coke at the pub and what a wonderful day we had.

When we got back, the staff couldnt believe how far we had got, they were wondering how we had got on. My lovely husband bought the bike off them there and then!!

It's great to be back in the saddle!

If I can do it, anyone can!!

Congratulations, well done to you. X

I actually cried a little reading that. WELL DONE YOU!!!!!! I dont know you and I feel very proud of you for doing that, and for doing it soooo well.
Also, well done to your husband for buying the bike from them for you, thats a great support from him and I bet it has encouraged you further.
