Re: What does your bike mean to you?
As I've said in previous threads, if it wasn't for my bikes then I wouldn't have anything.
I dont really drink and I packed up smoking in January, so doesn't leave a lot.
The only time I was thinking of giving up riding was for 1 week when I was in the High Dependency unit in Hospital after my bike spat me off & tried to kill me. The only thing that pushed me to walk & get about quicker was the urge to ride a bike again after my mate said it was an accident & that I could have died walking across the road (plus the help from my family & friends).
I bought a bike whilst I was still on crutches & rode it 90 miles home (pillock).
I ride mine every day of the week & I openly admit that riding to work & riding home is the best part of the day, the bit in between is cr@p. I still cant ride any great distances because of the pain, but every day is different & I will keep working on distance until I'm 100%
