Hi all pleased to meet you!
I'm John from Herefordshire, I'm an engineer by trade and bought my Haibike Xduro/Nduro 8.0 just over a year ago, I bought it because my lifelong hobby of cycling seemed to be coming to an end due to shaky knees and general apathy. It wasn't long after getting it and doing some serious mileage before I became so enthused I let my wife have a go. We eventually got her a Cube Acid One and have had a brilliant year together rediscovering the lanes and tracks around here in rural Herefordshire. I think that the bike was the best thing I've ever bought, as it saved me from being a couch potato and it has also brought us together doing something that we love together.
If only we had a way to transport the bikes in our Seat Leon. A roof carrier would change the shape of the car ie squash it, and I can't be bothered with getting a towball fitted and buying an expensive rack. Just as well we seem to have everything we need rides-wise from our front door, including the Forest of Dean.
Anyway, great to meet you all, and I look forward to reading and maybe adding to your posts in future. In the meantime, lets hope Storm Dennis blows out so we right-thinking people can get out on our bikes again!
