Boomer's Bizarre Bicycle, A - Z Compendium

ZZzzzz...

Time to put this thread to bed. My bicycle journey, from A to Zed

Didn't know what to expect when I embarked on this journey, either from myself or from the Forum in general. I'm going to call it a small success, not something I've tried before & I wouldn't rule out doing something similar on another subject. One fairly sensible idea springs to mind & another marmite one which I could save for my Forum Swansong, whenever that may be. I do feel that my work isn't over here, not that it's work.

Potentially I could bump this thread in another year from now & do a January to June Journey in the hope that different stuff will crop up, I know that I've missed some decent content along the way as different things have jogged my memory, but I didn't want to disrupt the A-z format which presented something of a challenge coordinating a particular letter to what actually happened in real-time during that week. That was my chosen method, after that I recycled old stories & random facts.
That would be the danger of doing a second Tour as I would want to repeat subjects that I've covered this year, although I have visited certain aspects a number of time already.

Enough of me thinking out loud, thanks again to all of you that got involved & hopefully I might have even inspired a few to get back on their bike or even take up cycling on some level for the first time, cos it really is as easy as riding a bike.
Great exercise for both the body & mind, but the falling off still hurts so take care.

^ An absolutely inspiring thread! I love reading about your journeys and advice along the way Boomer, if I may, I personally think this thread should remain open and you never know what's around the corner to continue this topic. I find this thread a very fascinating and very intellectual read about cycling. I'm not one myself (Yet) but this is a very thought provoking thread and (imo) deserves a lot of recognition for the effort you and others have put into it.
