What a difference a bike makes!

Ok I have been riding for about 2 months coming up to my 3rd month and just in August I have done 464 miles on my bike I hope to get this up to 500 this month (September). One of those months was on my tourer to and from work, but that’s all I used it for. So I bought a racer and that’s when it was time to go.
The father in law bought a bike to and i go out with him when possible because he's just getting back into the swing of things again after so long off the bike and falling into the trap of one of those things with fumes coming out the back!!
I went out with Geoff on the sunday that i bought it and what a difference it makes we done about 30 miles that sunday, you can tell the difference between the tourer and the racer, there’s a lot of difference until you go from one to the other you wouldn’t recognise it.
I had some clip-in pedals and shoes bought me for my birthday and these have improved my cycling a lot and I can feel the difference there’s more traction between the foot and pedal especially up hills i don't mind climbing but seem to do better with these.
