• Melanie Carroll Me? Fun, friendly, a bit of a cycle chimp!
  Cycles to work most every day, and loves to cycle even in the rain. In fact loves to cycle in the rain - it's just really fun, but then so is cycling in the sun, or in a gentle breeze but not when it's blowing a gale!
  Short rides are lovely and long rides are a dream, but I'm not a speed racer as I love to enjoy the view with a few stops for pictures and refreshments too :D
  Riding a sit up and beg bike currently but can't pull off that Copenhagen cycle chic they all talk about, probably due to being a bit of a cycle chimp (just ask the mascot on the front of my bike!).
  Used to ride a beautiful old 5 speed drop handlebar sports bike but sadly I got too old and creaky for it after a tumble that damaged my hip but not my enthusiasm.
  I love to cycle and I really hope that I can share that love with lots of other people too, partly why
  I'm also a National Standards (Bikeability) Instructor.
  My day to day cycle commute takes me to my Independent bookshop - Unicorn Tree Books & Crafts in Lincoln Central Market - and I'm as passionate and committed to books, crafts and community as I am to cycling :D

• Kia Hogan A novice cyclist (have been cycling for less than a year), I just love being outdoors. And Bromptons. Especially pink ones :)

   Enjoyable ride with like minded people. I enjoyed my ride today and would highly recommend it to people who are confident at riding and are happy to keep a steady pace. Beautiful countryside, lovely weather and a break in the middle to recharge your batteries (legs).

   Great cycle route through typical English countryside and excellent cycle paths for most of the trip. Recommend the cappuccino at the Bottle and Glass to break the journey :-)
