Awesome, keep it locked up too many scummy people about. I remember when I was a child I never had to lock a push bike up but now even if you lock it up someone comes along with an angle grinder!!!
Does this bike make the riding easier and faster?

yeah tested it out today went 60 miles it is light a good riding position. Draws the effort but you find road bikes do that anyway. 74% vigorous effort(130 to 150 bpm I think) so keeping the heartrate up for most of it hit a peak heart rate of 172

If I tried that at my age I'd be going out on the bike and coming home in an ambulance

Re: What have you just bought?
A dentist hygiene appointment this morning. £65. You just know your gums will get a poke at some point during the clean, ouch!  I have sensitive teeth bottom left at the back. Thankfully the doctor injected a load of numbing juice into my gum. It's still active in my system.

Your watch collection is likely worth more than my car.

But you have to get to that point first obviously.
It's nice to be able to buy such nice things, no doubt about that. But to continue to show off such wealth does makes you slightly different from normal people here.
To say a car is more useful, is just a reaction. A humble spatula is more useful than having a dozen watches lol.
But go on then, I'm sure you're dying to tell us what your new purchase is.... lol.

Re: What have you just bought?
You should have got the model that has the one big basket AF500UK. Two small drawers are useless I find. Not enough space. My aunty got this model which she loves. John Lewis had it on sale some months ago with £50 gift card.
