You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
After a life-changing accident on the 30th of October, in which I came as close as you can go dying without crossing the line, I was back on the bike for the first time today.
With my 10 year old son at my side, I took a gentle pootle along the Ely Trail to Cardiff Bay, and back up to my neighbourhood via the Taff.
After a few minutes of finding out how to clip in again, and establishing that I wasn’t going to fall over with every turn of the wheel, it felt fantastic.
Welcome back, me! 🙂
Top stuff 👍🏻

Top stuff.
It must have been devastating to think you might never be able to ride again.
So glad it didn't come to that.
welcome back indeed, SR 🙂

(Seriously, with all the effing loblocks that's been 'developed' here, would this have been too much of an ask?)
Nice one! Ride safe!
Nice one, you'll be on your way back up the Strava leaderboard in no time.
Fantastic news SR!
In time for all the delights of Spring and Summer too!👙🌄
(Bikini seemed appropriate for summer but not so sure now?)
Result. Well done mate.
Brilliant 👌
Chapeau
It's amazing how something as simple as cycling can 100% define your happiness.... I'd never have thought it possible once upon a time, but these days, a day without a pedal or two, seems like a day wasted.

Good to hear, you'll be smashing out the KOMs by summer !

Thanks, kimbers. Before I do though, I’ll have to drop the 7 kgs I’ve put on by gorging on Christmas chocolate since the accident!
