Lost in The Wilderness

Unfortunately, before I could fully develop my basic skills, the Winter set in and I lost the impetus, and gradually became more worried about getting back on a bike.

Thus followed my 17 year "wilderness period" between learning to balance, pedal and steer at 30, and getting back on a bike at 47 years old, following a new wave of determination.

Of course, by now, I was basically starting from scratch on a bike again - but this time had the pleasure of being more overweight and unfit to begin with!
