Mrs BooBoo LaBoy Nov 2007 3:01pm, 7 Nov 2007 5,945 posts	0 Mrs BooBoo LaBoy No!!! I used to go to spinning classes Anne - sorry that's what I meant!

It's all about feel... 26miles sounds like a nice commute
Mrs BooBoo LaBoy Nov 2007 3:39pm, 7 Nov 2007 5,947 posts	0 Mrs BooBoo LaBoy It is 'CrossBoy - it is...I'm just not keen on the commute home in the dark...

Mrs BooBoo LaBoy Nov 2007 4:06pm, 7 Nov 2007 5,948 posts	0 Mrs BooBoo LaBoy Haha! I have very bright front and back lights - but I think that I will get some funky stuff for my wheels too (might make me look like a 'fun' cyclist though!!)
