New kid(!) on the block.
Watch this postHi Surfers, just joined and want to say hello.
Love the site. I've been retired for six years and mostly enjoy it although I do sometimes miss the friendly banter we had with customers over the counter in the bicycle shop we (my wife and I), used to run. We were in the bike trade for 40 years and enjoyed all aspects of cycling. I especially liked the repair and servicing side.
Since retirement Julia (a genealogist) has concentrated on doing her family history research (she can trace her line back to Rollo the Viking) for herself and others, she loves it.
I enjoy walking Barney our kleptomaniac dog and my passion is writing (Fiction & plays).
Sadly I can no longer ride a bike as I have a severely impaired sense of balance due to inner ear damage. I might get a trike though! Better times are coming!

I hope you get back to cycling again soon there is so much available now as you say trikes and as time goes on the electric assist whenever we need them in the future.
