Will it stop raining this year, so we can enjoy riding/dry trails, or do we need to build an ark?

Will the bike industry doom and gloom settle down a bit when the sun comes out and people start riding bikes?

What do you think will happen to racing over the next few years, downhill, XC, enduro etc.

Apart from buying a FS.

Warner Bros will drop it when they realise it's worthless. They have a long history of pulling the plug on expensive projects especially if there's a tax related incentive.

Why hasn’t the bike industry adopted Schrader valves and insist on trying to invent ‘better’ Presta valves?

Will all of YouTube copy your FGF production values? It’s so crap, that’s why it’s so good - unmissable. More please.

I'm about to be under-employed. Can you send me an e-bike to review while I recover from a long term lung infestation?

Why do football fans say "we" when talking about a team they do not own or participate in?

Are e-bikers lazy bastards?

I would have used the like button but it's vanished.

Ooh, and is 26" dead yet? (Seeing as there's been a thread on 26er HTs this week).

26" will never die. It's the perfect size for children and miniature humans.

Who decides who tests the different fresh goods?

How does that work when it’s a skimpy lycra garment?

And

What’s your fave ride location in the UK: natural and man-made centre?

Why?

Why do football fans say “we” when talking about a team they do not own or participate in?

And why are the teams referred to as plural when a team is singular?

"Arsenal have won **** all again"

Rather than "has won **** all"

Is have plural

“Arsenal have won * all again”

Rather than “has won * all”

Because it's a team not an individual? So you're referring to the group of multiple people. Arsenal has many arses in it, not just one.

Hmm.

I guess you could grammatically use either has or have, depending on if you're talking about the team as an entity or about the team as group of arses. Fans use "have" seeing it as a group that they identify with (see "we" above).

I'm thinking into this too much.

Came here to say the same.

Following on from the recent threat - what does over-biked mean to you? Is it a thing, is it less of thing than it used to be? And is a 'slur' on the rider if you call someone a bit over-biked?

Can I be a guest presenter? I love the style so much?

I’m happy to pretend to have a much cooler bike than I actually ride and be much better at riding it. I’ll also happily make tea and coffee and walk the dog.

That's an idea. Do you need live musical accompaniment? I could sit in the corner and play bass.
