Let’s both agree that we’re weird …but you’re really weird. I’m gonna brush my teethThere's no way I'd be Poutine that in my mouth half way around a ride ...

Feck me, getting the bike over the last deer fence must have been savage!Started off exploring a bit today it was ok till I went off piste . Fifty metres from top of Jocks hill branch stuck in derailleur and twisted it bad. It was in behind a spoke. Dismantled and shortened chain first turn broke chain . Three miles in deep Heather was the shortest way back to van . Discovered that Ebikes don't roll downhill in hip deep heather unless it's vertical . And three deer fence gates were open but last most remote one had a padlock. Safest way is to straddle and up and over with bike .
Well the sore left arm is sorer tonight. Going Sea Kayaking in morning thankfully it's flat and no young tigers coming. Got to be done palFeck me, getting the bike over the last deer fence must have been savage!
They had all gone out for a ride:Visited the local fairy but they didnt answer their bell
Easy:Feck me, getting the bike over the last deer fence must have been savage!
Nah just Danny macaskill it
Nope...Mr.McQueen didn't make that jump and was escorted back to The Cooler shortly after..
Is that the charging port on the top tube? Any pro’s-con’s. (Curious)
Yes you don't see any of the home made bikes I remember as a bairn . Lads with drop bars upside down, steering bikes with your feet etc . Then again the traffic nowadays is scary.Was irritated that my nephews tight-arse Dad (a millionaire) who buggered off a couple of years ago can't even be bothered to buy his son a half decent bike (he has been riding around on his sisters one) so given he loves riding I couldn't help myself and bought him a used Boardman 8.8. This was his first outing on it to the local Country Park - he absolutely loved it.
Not a scenic pic by any means but special to me as I love seeing youngsters on bikes, not enough of them these days IMO.

You’ve just catapulted me back to my childhood…….nobody from the council estates had a new bike!

Yes wheels without tyres I can hear them now. Butchers bikes you could carry a mate in the front bit happy days. I had a toy plastic engine that made a noise like a motor bike on my Raleigh . Cardboard in spokes made a farting noise. No camera phones in sixties to record any of this .You’ve just catapulted me back to my childhood…….nobody from the council estates had a new bike!

Cardboard and a couple of pegs…..

Not as nostalgic for me as it takes me back to a time in the 70's when " segs" were used in brouges..part of a uniform worn by your local "friendly" skinhead gang Crombies , Sta-prest and Doc Martens (as another choice of footwear ) completing the wardrobe ..being a " hairy" and into rock music they were " interesting " times ..Here’s another memory, raiding my grandads shed for “Segs” to hammer into the back of your shoe heels to make sparks fly when stopping or steering with your feet………f**k me I’m feeling the nostalgia
Stay press White ones always worn half mast to show off the boots . Emva cream and Scotsmac we called them a bottle of Breach of the Peace .Not as nostalgic for me as it takes me back to a time in the 70's when " segs" were used in brouges..part of a uniform worn by your local "friendly" skinhead gang Crombies , Sta-prest and Doc Martens (as another choice of footwear ) completing the wardrobe ..being a " hairy" and into rock music they were " interesting " times ..
Mine will be going for a few years yet I don't change tyres often. Just think retro . Most people are too busy laughing at the mudhugger mudguard anyway so miss the tire.Rude not to really.
