'Deadly Treadly' ..?? I thought you were talking about stepping on spiders or something.
Didn't really get a decent bike till my second year at college. Used to ride to school barefoot with one arm over the saddle and 'skiing' my feet through the frost on the grass verge. Any previous 'bikes' were various cast offs and put togethers.
Currently riding ( when it gets a wee bit warmer ) an 18 speed Avanti alloy framed, carbon forked beastie. My 21 speed Mountain Bike got 'lost' by my stepson who can't remember where he left it after borrowing it.
Still enjoy riding, I can't run due to knee damage from snow skiing in past years and walking is too slow mostly so a quick 20-30 km bike ride is excellent. No impact from pedalling to aggravate them. Some of our local motorways have ride/walk paths off to one side so I can avoid the more dangerous roads for the most part.
