MJ, what model is it? Does it have a name on the sides of the frame?
If it's comfortable and easy to use, then it doesn't really matter how good or bad it is. When I was 3, I had a Raleigh Bluebird in electric blue. I loved that bike. I might have a picture somewhere, so I'll have a look and see if I can dig it out :lol:
But when I was in my teens I bought myself a Raleigh Monterey ladies mountain bike. Think it was 18 speed. Purple and Blue if I recall. Was a nice bike, and sold it because I didn't use it.
My current bike is a Saracen Enzyme which must be 10-12 years old. 24 speed, front suspension, Mavic rims, and cross MTB/road tyres front and back. It's fairly heavy compared to some new bikes but it still does the job for me.
We cycle mainly on designated cycle routes and usually where it's flat and not particularly hilly :smilewinkgrin: We have a couple of National Cycle Network routes that run through Stoke-on-Trent, plus quite a few disused railway line trackbeds which have been turned into cycle/rambling/footpaths.
Last week, I did a mixture of walking the dog, rambling and cycling and burned nearly 4000 calories :yesnod: All I can say now is, bring on the food, nom nom, nom nom nom.
