Newbie …super scared but figured I'd press send & see what happens. Hello x

Mads

My names Joey. Mads is my cat. 

I was diagnosed with ASD last month aged 40 (after 20+yrs of diagnosis & misdiagnosis). 

I love rescue animals, komodo dragons, needle felting, houseplants, skate trainers, photography, cycling, inline skating, reading private eye & listening to LBC.

Scared to do this but hopeful to chat to people who get it and can help a little.

Thank you.

  • Hello Mads, wellcome to the Community. I too, subscribe to Private Eye and howl at the covers and great journalism. I am also a keen cyclist and am considering an upgrade to a custom build frame by Brian Rourke.

    Hey LLR thank you. A custom build Rourke, I’ve just checked out the website!!! My dad still has an original Claud Butler lol I have a Cube MTB I might get a hybrid, but I spent a lot on an indoor bike so I can technically cycle anywhere?!

    A fellow Private Eye subscriber excellent. I’m new to it but I’m starting to collect them as the covers are hysterical (if the world wasn’t in such a mess). I get rather excited when Wed comes around every couple of weeks.

    Hello, I am a odd size so tend to be between bike frame sizes so a custom build makes sense for me. If I brought a bike from a bike shop, it would cost me a lot more. In the past, I brought frames and added my own parts from past builds. It may not happen as I am chasing grants and it is slow progress. Hmm Claud Butler, did you know former Great Train Robber Bruce Reynolds used to work for them building frames? Cub make some great road bikes.

    Completely get why you would do it that way! I have a friend of old who runs a bike shop, he was one of the mechanics who worked as part of I think Sir Steve Redgraves East to West or West to East charity ride in the US? He builds custom bikes especially for triathletes and the odd custom bits for the army. He has never told me what Mr Reynolds got up to with Claud?! Although he did tell me that he once built a bike for someone who just wanted it to hang in the office. Oh how the other half live. Safe cycling. Will await updates.
