I rarely go on long rides. I use my bike as a form of urban transport. A pleasant enjoyable form, but it's just to get from A to B, really. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10748#post-118648 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 09:40:08 +0000 chdot 118648@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Instead of walking 15 minutes to my destination, I ride my bicycle there in 5.
