Pic taken from Rob Penn’s Twiter feed, thought it looked really effective.

Effective for what? Preventing bike use?

How does he get his bike out?

How does he get his bike out?

Have lots of fires?

Tis art innit?

what tyres for split firewood?

Love that.

Is that a 29er? surely it’ll just roll out no problem?

From Rob Penn’s website, made me chuckle:

Has anybody read his book? Is it any good?

I quite enjoyed it and the TV show.

I enjoyed the book and he came across pretty well on the ride he did in Amazon with Freddy Flintoff

As a fellow coppice fiddler and bike fettler I was rather chuffed to have met him and had a brief conversation with him at the Handmade bike show in Bristol (RIP). Very pleasant chap all in. WHich was a relief, as Id rather got myself to expecting he was a bit of an arse in real life – meeting one’s “heroes” and all. Fortunately it wasnt the case.

TBH, as long as he used a Trek or Specialized in the wood pile then it’s no great loss to cycling 😉

If he’s anything like me he’d have incorporated a complete peloton. Tsk, amateurs.

Stoner – i think the Handmade show is going back to Brighton next year?

oooh, ace!
cheers scud. Back to where the show belongs!
