I was back in the saddle this weekend. For the first time in over 4 months. Terrible, I know. But I had been focusing on running and finding it hard to have time to cycle, as well as run my main blog, and work.
Getting ready for a cycle is such a bloody ordeal. I have to carry the bike up the stairs, get changed and pick what I should wear according to the temperature, make sure my wheels/bike are okay, make sure I’ve not got forgot anything.. it just seems to take forever.
Anyway, excuses out of the way. I posted about cheap cycling clothing for beginners last summer, I kitted myself out in cheap items as I just could not afford to sink so much money into the clothing all in one go. It’s not a cheap sport, this cycling business, ya know. I’ve been slowly upgrading my clothing since then. The warmer weather is here, and that makes me want to cycle rather than run. I am finally over my fear of the clipless pedals, which was making me a tad scared to get back on the bike, so I decided to kit myself for summer as well as get a few extra bits and bats:

I’ve always wanted to be able to go out cycling. Unfortunately I have a spinal problem that prevents me from being able to balance on a bike, so the nearest I ever get is spinning class. LolLouise x
I used to like cycling, but I am scared to cycle in London!
