    Yesterday Racing Ralph and I had a Peaks blast just outside of Sheffield. On a short road section something caught my eye, we rode on for 200 meters before we turned back to check I wasn't seeing things. RR shot on to double check while I got my camera phone out and ready, as we pretended to look for a lost trail mate I fired off two candid shots.


    Yes, it's an original hands free kit 😆

    It had to be my photo a day shot

    On a road bike ride through london, one of the guys I was cycling with had his front wheel go between two planks of wood on some decking. We were just cycling along next to each other, then suddenly he seemed to start to dissapear into the floor.

    He ended up all tangled up with most of his bike sticking out of the floor on top of him.

    Unfortunately, he managed to get up before I could get my phone out and take a picture. He was fine as well, no damage to him or the bike.

    He wouldnt agree, but I thought it was funny.

    The funniest thing I ever saw on a trail was once on Leith Hill as I rode over the edge of a bombhole at high speed (I think I was actually in the air and dropping in over the lip). The expression of fear and embarrasment on the face of the poor woman who had decided in a moment of very poor judgement that the very bombhole I was riding into was an excellent place in which to hide and curl out a huge shit was an absolute picture.

    Luckily I missed her (and her huge shit) by millimetres.

    Saw a bloke back scuttling his lady over a gate on a ride a few years ago. I wished them a hearty "GOOD DAY!" as I passed within about 4 feet of them.

    Once caught a couple at it when i was riding up out of Hayfield, wasn't particularly funny but that's the best i can offer.

    Me and three mates were carrying our hangovers up Ben Lomond at 3-4ish in the morning in order to catch the sunrise and ride back down.

    Next thing we knew a half blind sheepdog came hurtling down the hill, barking like crazy. We thought it was some sort of feral collie, until the owner came marching down after it in his Y-Fronts, totally oblivious to the cold, the hour of the morning or the four still half drunk bikers gawping at him in fear and awe.

    He picked the dog up by the scruff of the neck and carried it back up to his tent which we hadn't seen as it was hidden just over the brow of the hill.

    Worst thing was the whole process repeated an hour later when we went back down… 😀

    Two young ladies with naf all on and a fella with a vid recorder in local woods on a busy sunday morning. Stood and watched for a bit with a couple of old fellas who were already there when I arrived, boggle eyed and salivating!

    Saw a couple going at it just beside the BMX track in Avoriaz. Yes, I nearly crashed.

    On another ride I warned my sister about a bridge with parallel boards that a bike could get stuck in. She tootles merrily across the middle….Genius all knowing brother proceeds to drift into the slot, slowly go over the handle bars, across the side and into the snow bank down below. Cue much hilarity and "He knew! He knew!…he even knew, He told me! ahahahahah!"

    Just finishing a ride on the ridgeway with nickc from here. Stopped for a bit and found in one of the houses near Waltington that it was porn night on the massive widescreen. Made us giggle a bit.

    One winter morning we found out the real reason everyone should use SPDs. Waiting at the meeting point up rides Pete in full winter gear and fluffy tartan bedroom slippers.

    Yet another on-trail shagging experience, but just a little way further I came up to a police dog handler exercising said dog. Of course I had to stop like a naughty schoolboy and tell The Man that there are a couple having outdoor exercise over there, can he go up and say something along the lines of 'allo, allo' allo, wots going on ere?', and can I watch their reaction. He gently suggested leaving them to it. Spoilsport.

    On the same trail a bunch of students dressed appropriately for fantasy gaming. I felt I had to say, "My what a huge weapon" as I rode alongside them.

    A man dressed in suit, newspaper rolled under his arm on top of a mountain at least 5 miles from the middle of nowhere. Puzzling.

    I must be night riding in the wrong areas, I've never seen any shagging whilst on the bike

    it was me really. My mate and I were riding back from a lacrosse game. My mate was of the opinion that it was best to carry the lacrosse stick strapped to one's back to stop it getting stuck in the wheels. I ridiculed him and pointed out the lacrosse head was far too big to get stuck between the spokes.

    Not believing me he suggested I was talking out my arse. 'I'll show you then', I responded, and proceeded to jam the lacrosse stick into the front wheel.

    Well, I should imagine you can guess what happened next,

    On the STW just-post-christmas ride a few years back in ramsbottom, about 40 of us followed a trail which joined the end of a dead-end road. the couple in the solver toyota obviously weren't expecting 40 odd bikers to come past at 11.30am on Dec 27th, but Binners was kind enough to stop and offer to help the lady look for the contact lens she'd dropped in his lap…

    Years ago while riding on arthurs seat we found a load of polaroids of some bloke's frontal area.

    Also seen quite a few couples in cars on night rides.

    This guy on the Transpennine trail saw me at the end of the water and assumed that I had riden through it so he hit it at full speed, at one point you couldnt see the bike, still managed to stay on

    I once stuck my front wheel in a axle deep bog on Blackstone Edge, then proceeded to go over the bars and stick my head in the same bog up to my shoulders.

    My mate informed me that it was the funniest thing that he had ever seen.

    Sadly no photographic evidence exists of this.

    Also for alfresco shagging… There is loads of it round our way. I find that the best thing to do is approach by stealth then switch on the lights when you can see the whites of their eyes or the barking spider (depending on which way they are facing).

    one of the funniest things i've seen also provided entertainment for none other than sheldona and… er… the other one's other halves.

    i'd been riding in nant all week with some friends, all of whom are enthusiastic but not, in all honesty, quite as fit as i am. i had wanted a proper go at the "leg burner" long climb towards the end of the routes, so on the last day we rode it i let my friend go on ahead while i called my girlfriend. once i'd given him a suitable headstart i set off at high speed to see how fast i could catch him and make the top. having gone past the aforementioned other halves, i went round the first corner and found him flat out on the floor on his back with cramp in his legs, so i had to stop! so i got to laugh at him stricken on the floor, and believe that the other halves remarked that i'd huffed and puffed past them and then stopped almost immediately. 😆

    Whilst Riding on the local moors with the wife I came accross a bloke wearing high heels, stockings & suspenders and very tight fitting mini skirt 😯 Unfortunately I had forgotten my phone so could not take any pics, but I did give him the fright of his life as he had not heard me riding along 😈 The wife was to busy looking where she was going so did not see him until I pointed him out a little further along the track, cue histerics 😆

    Picture the scene: Fat bloke Jason turns up for a night ride in purple silk hareem pants. OK, each to their own etc. As we ride through Hurst Green it starts to rain, ans on the downhill to Lambing Clough the pants, now air tight due to the water, inflate into a giant purple heart with Jason sticking out the top like the stalk. I was too incredulous and helpless with laughter to get a shot 🙁 One could never imagine such a thing were even possible…

    A man walking the same trail naked except for a rucksack – I think it was that guy who said he had a right to ramble naked a couple of years ago?

    And, a woman using one of those she-wee things – she looked a bit embarrassed and made some comment about she wasn't expecting someone to come along so quickly.

    Caught a couple stark naked at it on the Ridgeway right by Ivinghoe Beacon. The lass was on top and in her hurry to hide her face she bent over the fella giving me a face full.
    Not that funny apart from the fact a huge bunch of elderly ramblers were coming round the corner.

    bloke used to come out with us occasionally
    used to moan about a sore arse ,told him to buy padded shorts as
    he used to wear running shorts
    so as he knew better he bought a trans-alp saddle the one with the
    gap in the middle
    he was fit but no technical rider on one windy single track we waited at the bottom for him eventually he came into view kinda lost it then regained control ,then with a shreik ,the kind that buzzards make
    he highsided onto the grass we were all lying on
    it was then that we noticed an apple a red one in his shorts except
    it wasnt an apple it was one of his chubbies that hed managed
    to force into the gap on his saddle then rip out again as he flew thru
    the air
    my how we laughed ,right up to the point that we realised some one
    would have to get help and the rest of us would have to get him
    somehow to the nearest civilisation
    this was in about 1994/5 not seen him since we stuck him in his dads car

    I once saw someone use a plastic colander attached with rubber bands as a bike helmet.

    mikee,

    Are we talking de-gloving or detaching one of his "chubbies" here?

    Out on the Cheshire lines,had popped down over the dyke to avoid a gate thing as I popped back up onto the path theres a guy standing there looking most surprised. As I went past him theres his misses squatting in the undergrowth in mid stream. For some reason she tried to pull her knickers up sharpish and fell backwards into the folliage wit legs a kimbo. I was still laughing an hour later

    Me and the gf were up at Ashton Court and we're asked by two Chinese girls if the tree we we're under was an oak. We said no, but took them to one nearby. They thanked us and we left. When I looked round one of them had hoiked up her skirt to reveal a lack of undies and her mate was taking a photo of her standing under the oak. No idea what that was all about, some kind of arboreal readers wives?
