2010 Trek Pilot 2.0
Road bike |
Description: My intention in buying this was to get a reasonably fast and light bike which would be comfortable to ride on Audaxes and other long day rides. It's a fairly upright riding position, the gears are small for going up hills slowly and I'd have to say, in terms of value for money, it's been fantastic. I only wish I'd got it sooner.

Dawes Synthesis
Road bike |
Description: This was my wife's Christmas present which was lent to a cycling vicar who buckled the backwheel in a charity ride horror smash.
Then it was used as the spare bike on a charity coast to coast ride. All this time it was kind of a backup bike, not really getting its moment in the sun, until last year when I started riding it as my main touring bike, and since then I've ridden it in England, Scotland, Wales and India. I've become really attached to it, and when I couldn't find it in Delhi airport I was genuinely upset. But thankfully it turned up and so now, on we go, together.

2005 Dawes Sonoran
Touring Road bike |
Description: Been all over on this and had many replacement parts. 4 major tours and counting. I paid £330 for it and I've had the greatest time on it. It got stolen once but the Police managed to find it before I'd even noticed it was gone.

2005 Schwinn FastBack Sport
Road bike |
Description: Not my bike (but I bought it). I once did 100 miles on it in under 7 hours. Those were the days.
It's actually my stepson's bike and I've had some great rides on it. Unfortunately since I got my Trek it's been sadly neglected and it's currently hanging in the garage.

1998 Raleigh Genesis
26" Comfort bike |
Description: When I first started seeing Linda G in 1998 she took me down Stockton High Street and as we were passing Skinnergate Cycles she barged me in the door, made me sit on this and then she made me buy it. If I wasn't prepared to be a cyclist she said, we had no future together.
Until 2005 this way my only bike. Now I use it for commuting and going to the shops. It is rusted to hell but it has been a faithful servant, even though I have not looked after it.
Update 13/02/2010. Now it's gone. It's served me well but I got rid of it because I know I won't ride it any more. Sometimes you just have to let go.
