Cycling

[despaer]

 Not mine this time. Izzy has managed to ride her bike without stabilisers for the first time today, so I am very proud. By the end of half an hour she was tearing round Tesco's car park like she'd been doing it for, well, months at least.

well done Izzy!

Hi Paul,

Great diary!

I have an email for Elaine but the edsp@fsmail.net link on her birthing website doesn't seem to be working.
Would you mind forwarding it to her for me? (I have attached it below)

Thank you & see you on the playground in Sept!

Great website Elaine!

Hi love,

I used to love cycling (before the littlees came along) and having done some research since you mentioned the existence of turbo trainers, I think it might be the way forward for me to burn-off some excess calories & resume a programme of fitness until I can get out on the roads!

The only problem I'm finding is that there are so many different varieties available (fluid, magnetic etc) & to save me spending hours on my butt trawling the net (not exactly high-impact exercise!) I would be vary grateful for any advice you have to offer.....?

eg, what sort do you have? whether you'd particularly recommend a specific sort? and any you would avoid like the plague? (I would like a machine with variable resistance I think to challenge me now as a beginner & later-on when my level of fitness is higher without having to buy a new one. It should also not be too noisy.)

I'd appreciate any comments you have,
many thanks
Jaqui
