Maybe it's the only bike that the rider owns. Were they enjoying themselves? Does it matter in the slightest?

Patriot on Leith Hill.What's yours?
Saw some big bikes when I was up there the other week. Assumed there must be some locals only cheeky DH trails.
Fair play to them for lugging the thing up there

Seems reasonable to me. Where there's a hill there's a downhill. You don't need a rocky trail to enjoy a Patriot.

I ride a meta 6 along the canal towpath. It rolls so much faster over children and dogs.

Children have no business being near the canal anyway.

children and dogs
See, it's the combination that's most frightening to me. Think of all the mauled and disfigured little faces.Posted 1 year ago # -

Full on DH's, including Full Face helmets round Sherwood Pines. With no attempt at the 'wall of death' on the optimistically titled Down Hill bit. Then again I don't 'need' my 4"er round there..horses for relatively flat courses goes out the window when you've only got one pony.

Hold on...isn't the OP poking fun at himself in this? The patriot in question being ridden by he, himself, on Leith Hill?

I was walking. This place has to be the epicentre or shiney bikes?
And ton I spent much of last weekend at over 3000 feet in the Cairngorms. And the tyres are 4"

I'm never knowingly overbiked- just under exercised

My only bike is a Chameleon, most of the time the forks are locked out and it's got skinny commuting tyres on it.
Poor thing is probably dead embarrassed to be owned by me!

There are a few spots that might justify a big bike on pitch.
How about the 5ft drops on to the flat road?I think if you consistently did those on a 5inch trail bike it would break. Well at least that's how I broke mine

I broke my 5inch trail bike by "ghostying" it into cars in a supermarket car park. Much more satisfying than riding off 5ft drops to flat.

I was at Leith Hill on my Patriot last weekend. I'll be on it there again tomorrow with Nirvana Cycles on their freeride ride.
