No I enjoyed mixing it with the traffic. I always made sure I postioned myself to my best advantage (read; safety) on a difficult bit of road. I'd take a central line through a corner, or when approaching a roundabout. I would always acknowledge the drivers behind me though with a 'thankyou' wave.
After all commuting home from Leeds around 18:00hrs for several years made you traffic-wary.

Now if I could teach Max to run alongside my bike.........

Jack used to run around the rugby club field behind where we used to live when I used it for a bit of training.
I'd practice my starts & dismount/remounts (where you swing a leg over , step off, picking the bike up - without stopping. Then run & jump straight into the saddle) for the Cyclo-Cross & Mountain Bike Racing.
I'd set him off & sprint after him trying to beat him down a side of the pitch, he'd invariably cheat by cutting a corner :roll: :roll: :wink: :lol:
the loon:
personaly I think the dogs got the right idear in BTM's first picture.
All he needs now is a cold beer.
you can see the dog thinking "theres no way I'm running along side him when hes on that"
good luck with the fitness crack though
:)

I gave up after hurting myself too many times whilst MTB racing, & Cyclo-Cross, too many cases of;
"Hello Mr Tree."... "Ouch!, kindly remove your branches from parts of my anatomy" :lol: :roll:

To date I have cycled into:
A tree
A market stall (playing 'tiggy off the ground')
A hedge
A bombhole
The floor, on more ocassions than I care to admit.
I think that now it's only my right arm that still works the way God intended, the rest of me seems to have gained musical accompanyment. I hear sickening noises when walking about with ear-defenders on.
Hang on, did I say I used to enjoy this?
