buy a bike

This goal is done : )
Its been a great little journey, my first ‘proper’ 43T goal.
What was I worried about ???, its been a blast !
Ive improved my self confidence, fitness & had fun.
Im now cycling at least twice a week, I can pop to the shops no problems, but best of all I get to go riding with my son. We have the greatest time together, he’s been really supportive & its been a good learning curve for him to ” help Mum ” with something she was’nt very confident doing.
Im proud of him so much for that.
Im actually proud of myself : ) YeaH !

• HUGE hugs & thanks to all you fab 43ers who really did help me with this one, cheers & comments alike they lifted me to believe in myself. Thats a HUGE deal.

Well, look at me Ive managed to get to the local shops with no injuries to myself or anyone else. Im almost ready to tick this as done ! WoW
I no longer care what I look like as I ride, my confidence is getting better & I am having a ball riding with my son at least once a week, mud, puddles the whole shebang! Plus Ive managed a little trip to the shops.
Im SO pleased !

I am so on my way with this goal, Yay for me !
Since last week Ive fixed up what was needed & off I went !
Ive been out 3 times this week, getting better each time.
My son thinks its fantastic that I can now join him & I agree : )
We even went out when there was a little snow flurry, it was so exhilarating & Im in love with splashing through giant muddy puddles ! We are lucky that we have a great cycle route on our doorstep that is semi rural, no traffic to worry about etc.
My next step is to ride more on the roads. A little less fun but needed for popping to the shops etc.
Im having such fun !

The bike is now in my garden !!!!
The wheels need doing & the seat lowering, but I organised going round to my friends last night & picked it up !!!
I’ll be wobbling though the streets this week ! Yay!
I so cant wait !
Its been 20 years since I last cycled, wish me luck !!

The bike is still in the garage : (
I hav’nt had or made time to go & collect it, which Im so mad about because the weather this week has been good & I could have had some fun wobbling about the streets !
My husband is in Berlin this week & my son & I could have had a real laugh out riding together.
Im annoyed with myself.
Im sure if it was for someone else I would have made it a priority.
I need to recognise that.
OK….next week for sure !

Well, since discovering this great site Ive been praising it to all my friends. One of them offered me their teenage daughters bike ( which is sitting in the garage redundant) to borrow until I can afford one & feel confident buying the right one for me. !
Yey !!!
Im so happy !
Now this week I can go for a ride, ......I just need the disguise : )

I want a bike.
My son & husband have one & off they go having fun.
Ive not rode in years & being the chicken I am Im worried Ill be a dunce at it!
I need to borrow a bike & have a go….under cover of darkness, wearing a disguise & far, far away from my neighbourhood! : )
A simple thing made difficult by me.
I will get a bike & it will be soon.
