Well done! The bike looks lovely; I'm thinking about getting one when I can afford it. The last few I've had have been mountain bikes, which I find very difficult. I much prefer the classic style of the one you're having.

Good luck with it :)

It's a bit scary. I can't quite believe they'll let me on the roads with this without a licence or test or anything.

Hey, snap! I got a Claud Butler Classic too, or would have done if they'd had one, but as they didn't they knocked a bit off the price of the Odyssey, the next model up, for me.

(not the Ladies model, obviously)

We did have to do the National Cycling Proficiency test when I was in primary school. I remember that I passed the test, but I was told to practice lots more before going on the road on a bike.

My cycling skills have sadly never improved since then. So I try to keep off the roads as much as I can. That would have to change if I bought a bike now. I wonder if there's a course one can do?

There are definitely cycling 'improver' courses around. Check your local cycle shops, and any local cycling group newsletters, and the Web! Cycling as road transport is a wonderful thing :-)
