So,
A mate of mine has gone out and bought himself a BSO as an introduction to biking, with a view to getting something half decent if he gets on with it.
I’ve been giving him remote support to get him rolling – for instance, he was having problems setting up the gears – but I think what he really needs is someone geographically close to cast an eye over it and I’m a couple of hundred miles away.
Is there anyone mechanically minded within stomping distance of Peebles up in That Scotland who’d feel charitable enough to spare a bit of time to help a new rider get going, maybe in return for a slab of ale or something? I know it’s a big ask but it just kills me that his first experience of biking is turning into a trauma.
Cheers.
