Fast enough to keep the heart pumping yet slow enough to avoid a heart attack.I know the feeling, this overweight, middle aged lump cruises at around 12mph and normally I do about 20 mile a day (unless on the Downs Link) coz it's hilly round here

The chances of me sliding down the road for 20 feet is about as close to zero as it's possible to get. I generally ride at a speed that means I can stop in about 6' just by putting my feet on the ground.

Speed wise I'm no too dis-similar. Average around 10-12 with a max of 23-25. My only disappointment is that I've only managed around 100 miles this year due to weather and shifts.Here's the blog of my rides, you can see the speeds and hills I ride

I've got a Bianchi and they have their own register but I'm not sure who has access to it.My x-wife is old bill and she recommended this site(https://www.bikeregister.com), said the old bill use the database a lot.
Whether your planning to buy a secondhand one or already own one, this site is useful. Just regitered all our bikes.

I was hoping to be commuting by now but as it's around 15 miles each way I don't feel up to that yet.....I'd have to leave home too early. If I did that I'd probably be pretty useless for a few hours after I got there. There are a couple of guys I work with who also cycle but one only rides about 4 miles and the other 9, and he's an accomplished Triathlete.
Think I'll try and get out for a couple of hours tomorrow if possible, but being a tight git all my gear is summer stuff. I'll buy the winter gear in July.:devil:

If you've had your bike nicked and someone is stop/accounted in the same force area riding it, which they usually are, it should be on the Local System. But it's amazing how many people think of bicycles as having little or no value. In comparison with most cars that's true but that's possibly why so few are recovered and returned to their owners.
I've had to deal with a few bikes of late and none of them seem to have been reported as stolen. Conversely, a young woman came to me a couple of weeks ago to say that hers had been stolen from outside the local Aldi, despite being secured with a cable lock to a post. Obviously not a very good lock. But, as she'd got off the bus coming to work one day she'd seen it, locked up outside the station, albeit with a flat tyre. We've since recovered it with the help of a pair of bolt croppers and put a new inner tube in it and she should be getting it back at the weekend.
The thing is, because the Aldi didn't have CCTV coverage she didn't bother reporting it, despite the fact that there was one a couple of hundred yards away.
Perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but I didn't see any sign of a subscription.
