Hi Serge, I haven't put a computer on my Python so I guess I've ridden about 7 hours & only about 30kms total, the first hours of riding were measured in meters not kms! I have a long way to go! I understand your thoughts about riding in traffic, at the moment I can't imagine doing that, but 2 weeks ago I thought I would never be able to ride it at all, now I can, so who knows with more practice? Ron, unfortunately there are no cycle paths where I live, some fairly quite roads though, so all hope is not lost of doing a "real" ride. Serge, your English is 10000% (or more) better than my Dutch or French! Regards, Carl.
