After years of pounding the pavement, being target practice for cars & bikes as I cross the road not to mention the footpath and finally braving the heat, rain and cold better than any postie ever could, I have thrown in the towel - no more daily walking as exerxise for this little black duck - now its a stationary spin bike for me. In the interests of good bike safety I will need all the safety gear starting with a good helmet - any suggestions? We'll hopefully move on to the essential figure hugging lycra or spandex in a future post - I wonder if Coopers do bike sponsorships?
