It’s official. It’s Christmas and Ebikes sucks.

[Mikerb]

Bloody spades and pick axe's, they should ban them now - I can't believe a few morons will remove them over a couple of weekends.


Agreed, Whistles are awfully noisy and rude for no reason.


It's nice to know that when the Duke of Edinburgh finally leaves us, Greece or the UK will convert a pine forest into an MTB park in his memory , despite his lack of interest on the subject to this date. Go Philip ! Merci !

errr.............think you will find he left us some time a go!!

 

[The Hodge]

What a massively shitty generalisation.

I know a load of late 40, early 50 year old MTB'ers that throw themselves at shit like they were in there 20's.

Don't you dare leave us 60+ year olds out of the equation ...

 

[The Hodge]

Zimms is forgiven though as living in France it probably wasn't such big news over there ..

I've got some bad news for you, unless you're mentioned in his secret will..

 

[Doomanic]

....which just goes to show spending all that time at "Uni" just leads to crap wages!!

Are you aware that the average wage of survey respondents is almost triple the average wage in the UK?

Is it just me or did anyone else mentally replace the h with a t whilst reading this

Now I can't get the thought of frozen fisting out of my mind - thanks

And they don't even have stables, the losers.

 

[Tubby G]

When did Prince Philip die? Missed that!

I've just been for a sub zero dog walk .. It's not just in my mind now ...

 

[Zimmerframe]

Hey, lets not type cast groups. I've had lots of stables and I'm a loser.

 

[Zimmerframe]

When did Prince Philip die? Missed that!

I think it was the day after he was definitely alive and the day before he was definitely dead. But in today's world of spin, he could just have been having a lie down meeting.

 

[Jimbo Vills]

Some of us southerners keep bike stables tho

Fcuk them horsey types. New money them

 

[Ripping g]

Feel free to join us on a ride Ed and will see what or who sucks at the end

Blimey Ripping, Can't we stick to Fist bumps ?!? Especially in winter - it could be embarrassing ..

 

[Eddy Current]

There’s always a jerk in a forum, I’m that one, what

 

[Jackware]

There’s always a loony in a forum, I’m that one

FIFY

 

[maynard]

What's this ? I've never heard of this one ? Is this where you immediately abort and head off to rectify the situation ? Or you stay, rectify the situation with the supplies you bought and then continue ?

That's just fishing . Which is the best way to do it . Sorry I thought this thread was supposed to not make sense .

 

[maynard]

Steve

That went over my head . I'm assuming your pointing out my horrible attempt at using the English language.

 

[Eddy Current]

older people don’t take my words as an offense, I know some of you still are doing enduro stuff, and it’s ok to touring on ebikes. The brands are the ones who are doing bigger heavier and more comfy than performance

now go like “no blablabla“ as usual … soon all ebikes will fit a throttle

Ok got it . I think they will go both ways . A bit like BAMBAMODA and Zimmerframe's sexual preference .

 

[emtbPhil]

One would presume that you can't cope with touring anymore so just walk?

I'm sat here reading this after watching an endless stream of youtube reviews of LIGHTER 2022 bikes with better performing parts. Brands playing with long travel enduro e-mtb's etc... and I'm just wondering if I can have some of what you're smoking for new year?

 

[Eddy Current]

I don’t think it is necessary to smoke nothing to trip while you living under this globalist dystopia, just wait for the alien asymptomatic invasion

meanwhile I like Rocky Mountain ebikes, whyte, YT, pivot, intense … those who made an effort to keep handling and performance in a reasonable level

 

[Kingerz]

50+ Germans are probably the most able to afford eMTBs

 

[2WheelsNot4]

Well it appears from this perspective that Ebikes are getting more people out on bikes. Enjoying the fresh air and keeping their systems ticking over.

I expect that test 10 years ago the big average age would be in the 30's. Nobody except a scant few golden oldie roadies would be riding above aged 70. Stays were short cos there was no bloody lifts. To get down you had the horror of first sapping all your energy getting up there.

Fuck 26", 27.5", short travel and uncomfy hardtails, i know, i've been stuck there for a quarter century. 29er full suss Ebikes have been sent by God.

 

[Hobo Mikey]

Oh . It's about fishing . Fuck I love fishing fly fishing, bait fishing, lure fishing . Sober fishing , fucking high as fishing . Ice fishing . Boat fishing . Actually haven't been ice fishing . But I'd totally do it if I lived somewhere where it got so fucking cold everything freezes .

Wife goes ice fishing, she gets them ice cubes out her G&T as quick as poss before it dilutes her Gin.

I'm 50+ and live in Germany, does that count?
I'm just going to take my bike and ride into the forest.... Though it is -8 C today, I think I will more likely encounter the frozen fisting than the golden shower group.

 

[Mike D.]

Troll.

 

[Zimmerframe]

Is there a German word for someone who goes for a pee in the forest when it's freezing cold and actually gets (painfully) frozen in place by their own man made Stalactite ??

 

[2WheelsNot4]

Troll.

I think we need a bit more elaboration than that. Come on, say your piece.
