No, I don't self propel. Good old NHS , when they assessed me for wheelchair, omitted the fact that I have upper spine injury, so don't have the arm strength. Been used twice in the 4 years since I got it.No a skirt guard for the wheels so if you push yourself it protects your sleeves!

Looks nice! What is it? Hubbie has a surly long haul trucker
@Yorksman - My husband cycles every day, goes out with a local club at the weekend and does tours abroad. He also goes on this website http://www.cyclechat.net/ which might be of interest to you.
Hubbie likes bikeIt's a Btwin S'cape touring bike. I don't think they sell them in the UK though Decathlon in the Netherlands and Belgium do so Decathlon UK may be able to get one. The nearest Btwin equivalent in the UK is the Riverside:
Does Hubby cycle abroad? I'm not fit enough yet to do long routes but will have a go at a shorter route in the spring. I aim to catch the Hull to Rotterdam ferry and then cycle down to Zeebrugge to catch the ferry back to Hull. It's less than a single TdF stage but will take me 4 days.
You are hindered of course by the difficulty of finding your bike in the bike park in these places:
You could still "pimp my ride" with the skirt guards though!No, I don't self propel. Good old NHS , when they assessed me for wheelchair, omitted the fact that I have upper spine injury, so don't have the arm strength. Been used twice in the 4 years since I got it.
Its the thought that counts though, bless them.
You could still "pimp my ride" with the skirt guards though!(By the way I've never watched this programme! )
He tends to cycle in uk due to time and budget constraints and is envious of your little forays into Europe
That begs a 29" MTB at eyeballs out@izzzi If you have that sort of cool setup in the photo, you need to travel the Ochsenweg. Ox Way or Hærvejen which runs up the middle of Jutland.
It is an ancient route and was once used by Scandinavian pilgrims on their way to Rome. A traditional caravan as in that photo would be entirely suitable for such a voyage.
And the way itself just begs 'slowly slowly does it'.
I'm off to ALgeria for the rest of the week
They would just be dust covers, though, as I am not able to use the darn thing!
My husband is jealous!I've yet to do anything serious. I have to get my fitness levels up. So far it's been a little bit during the day whilst I was there for other reasons.
I have been surprised though at what there is on my own doorstep. You have to have a bike carrier on the car and be prepared to drive somewhere but something like the Monsal Trail, between Bakewell and Buxton is wonderful. This is the view of the Dale from the trail which follows the path of a disused railway.

Have fun! Am becoming more envious by the minute!That begs a 29" MTB at eyeballs out
I'm off to ALgeria for the rest of the week, but I will post some pics of my stable. Very disappointed though, no pics of recumbents, that's my next plan.
