Hi Folks, after a summer of misery on the trains (southern fail) I decided to do my CBT, see if biking could be an option for commuting. I'm glad I did because I love it! I wanted a bike I could maintain and do basic repairs on myself. I chose the YBR (2nd hand 19k miles) as it was affordable and robust. It's also a lot of fun to ride, as my commute is 90% 30mph limit with a few bus lanes thrown in to pass the suckers stuck in cars (legally I might add). So far I've done chain cleans and adjustments and replaced the speedo cable. Bought the Haynes manual to help out too. So in short loving the bike and looking forward to getting my hands greasy! 

Cheers! Dan
