Me and My Bike
Wrong side of 50;
Took up cycling in 2010;
Cycling style – head down plodder;
Likes – The Blues, The Blacks, The Browns;
Dislikes – The Reds, The Greens;
Outlook – don’t whine and whinge about things, keep trying and don’t give up because no matter how bad things may seem, there’s always someone worse off than you.
