Show "Bicycle"

[Jonathan F/2]

So light, it's seemingly floating on air.

I hope it's a comfy ride; with my back I'd never get down to the bars.

I roll my back out daily, stretch and do quite a bit of strength training every week. Though in my mid-40s I'll see how long I can maintain this fitness level!

The coolest bike tunnel ever. Formerly the Voie Express Georges Pompidou on the right bank of the Seine. Now a bicycle & pedestrian tunnel between the Place de la Concorde and the Tuileries Gardens.

That tunnel is really cool! It would make for a nice portrait setting!

It really is. Here are a couple of non-bike photos. It was like riding through an art gallery.

Hey Tony, nice image.
Are those the original tires that came with you DS Trek? Or did you switch them out for something wider?

My wife, caught exceeding the speed limit on the Cardiff Bay Barrage.

I rode one of these once and it was most disconcerting; when you turned the handlebars, the basket stayed pointed ahead.

Don, it came with 700C x 40 tires. I switched them out for 29 x 2.1, about the same as 700 x 57.

Le tunnel pour vélos le plus cool de tous les temps. Anciennement la Voie Express Georges Pompidou sur la rive droite de la Seine. Aujourd'hui tunnel cyclable et piétonnier entre la place de la Concorde et le jardin des Tuileries.

Been there, done that!
On more than one occasion.

Why don't you join us on our bike ride from Llanelli to Swansea; it's nice and flat!

The first section is along a path behind a large housing estate.

Before joining up with the old railway track.

The path was opened as part of the Millennium Trail of the National Cycle network.

It's possible to travel the whole of Route 4, which links West Wales and London.

It's now well-signposted. 'Bikeability' is a charity offering bikes of all kinds to help riders with various disabilities.

We were delighted to see this on the path.

Unfortunately for us, this handy refreshment stop alongside the Railway Inn was closed.

The railway track terminates on the waterfront at 'Black Pill' at Swansea Bay, where we turned right and headed for Mumbles, the village on the headland.

Sadly, the cafe at the end of the route couldn't guarantee a gluten-free and lactose-free meal for my wife.
However, on our return, we visited Prezzo and had the tastiest Italian meal we've had in a long while.

That provided us with enough sustenance to get us the 14 miles back to our starting point.
We hope you didn't get too tired accompanying us.
