We've already been out for a spin. I'm hooked! First time I've experienced anything like proper cycling since my brain injury. Wee bit terrifying to begin with, but very quickly forgot to be scared and enjoyed the exercise, fresh air, beautiful scenery (overlooking my hubby's butt), speed (within reason) and exhilaration. Can't wait to go on a family run with our two kids for the first time in years. Happy happy happy! "
