My earliest memory of riding a bike, was when I was six, and my father teaching me how to ride. After several lessons, I learnt to ride - brilliant.

In the part of England that I lived in more than forty years ago, it was quite safe for me to go out on my bicycle on my own - how it has changed now.

Then in my teenage years I got a car and stopped using my bike. The only time I used an old bike was to get parts for my car when it needed mending! Then one day I borrowed my daughter's bike as mine had a puncture. I was amazed how easy it was to ride compared with my one. As I was overweight at the time and needed exercise, riding a bike was a good idea - especially as going out for a run I did not like !

Well, that was how I got started on riding my bicycle again. Please come and read about my first bike, and then how I got a second cycle.

Then I went on cycling holidays in Holland.

If you have read about what I have done, you may be wondering about my future.

I will continue going out for days or evenings on my bike whenever I can.

My main cycling ambition is to go on a ride from Cardiff, in the south of Wales, to Holyhead in the north of Wales. This is over 300 miles (480 km) through a very hilly part of the United Kingdom. This ride is quite a good challenge and I look forward to doing it

But..

there are other things that I need to know about the future.

Do you know what your future holds?

Why not visit friends who can explain far better than I can what I mean?
