![]() Since then I’ve been out a few more times and have started to wonder about getting a new, lighter bike but a little browsing on line has left me confused. Much to my surprise I managed to get to the top, no doubt helped by a lot of XC skiing this winter. Last week I got my old mountain bike (mid range model bought early 1990s) out of the cellar, pumped up the tyres, sprayed & bit of oil on the chain, etc & tried the quiet road which heads steeply uphill from the village (its a ski run in winter). I retired in 2019 and now live in the French Alps but with Covid restrictions, then (non-Covid) illness last summer I didn’t really get out cycling. I always promised myself that when I retired & moved away from the city I’d start to cycle again & probably treat myself to a new bike. I used to be a keen cyclist, both for fun & commuting but have cycled rarely for the last 20 odd years as I was living in Paris (cycling in Paris was awful & I found it too much hassle to take my bike on the train out to eg Fontainebleau).
