Visiting my parents at the moment. Flew back, so no bike. My brother came up for the weekend as well, so we borrowed my parents' bikes and went out for a spin.
I ended up on my Mum's cheap, step-through frame hybrid. It has one of those collosal saddles that are like trying to pedal while perched on the edge of a saggy sofa. Top-tube was ridiculously short.
We climbed up the big hill out of town, rode through a scenic glen on a twisty, narrow road with a big descent at the end. Weather held-off for a typical Scottish slate-grey, dramatic sky.
****ing brilliant ride. 
agree mate
just had a weekend in the lakes on one of these

needs must but still awesome.
This is true, just riding is fun.
ton, even my mum's bike didn't have a stand! 😉
bastid.............. 😀
fancying la varda on it in the summer........ 😉
Took a group from our climbing club round North Manchester/Hit the North country yesterday.
One girl turned up on a Falcon 10 speed hybrid, complete with ally mudguards and big flappy panniers.
She rode everything, Rooleys Chin, Preparation H, all with a huge grin and a great attitude.
Other bikes in attendance were a nearly original Saracen Tufftrax and an old rigid 21 speed Claude Butler.
Did they have fun? Oh yes.
No breakages, no whining and a great day out.
Ever had the feeling we're all being conned?
Aye, my folks have taken their hybrids round Glentress blue in the past. They loved it!
yep i just love riding with my kids on an old raleigh burner , quality , its who you spend time with rather than what your riding 😀
i'm hoping that all bikes are fun because i've mothballed my full suss today and got the 456 all wintered up with a piss flap and mud guards and everything. even got the wheels trued.
bye bye mr hanky, i'll miss you.

What is a piss flap? One of those rubber sheet fork crown stoppy flingy forwards jobs?
yup, a bit of inner tube across the gap. 8)
they certainly are,
though some are more fun than others 😀
