Driving down Maryhill Rd tonight and I spotted a scrote riding on the pavement. From behind it looked like a halfords special but when I got close I spotted it was a full downhill rig. Black or possibly dark blue frame with grey Fox 40s. Absolutely no chance the weasel riding it was the genuine owner 🙁
You could be right but dont always judge a book by its cover . A couple of weeks ago at Fort Bill I met a couple of young lads on downhill rigs who had came by train up from Glasgow and were camping at Glen Nevis . Both there bikes were well over a grand and looked rough and ready but were in fact decent young lads.
If you were so sure, why the **** didn't you stop him?
FFS! there's every chance a weasely looking guy can own a nice bike!!
i'm with boardinbob. seen a couple round my way. Guy's kitted out in trackey clothing riding 8 inch travel dh bikes with the saddle right up. stolen no doubt.
if by "with" him you mean you're also very quick to judge people simply on how they dress then yes.
Let's see...
Maryhill - an absolute sh1thole estate
the boy was about 12 - 13 years old
tracksuit bottoms
topless
standard issue ned haircut
riding on the busy pavement
full on dh bike
nah you're right, all looks totally normal. My mistake.
His drug-dealer dad might have bought it for him...
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but Maryhill Rd is a bloody long road and passes close to/through some fairly decent parts of Glasgow. Does it actually pass through Maryhill though?
yes, all the way through..
I'd be a little suspicious of a ned on a DH bike. but not approach due to them commonly carrying a stanley
I live near Maryhill road and have a blue dh bike with 40s. I also own a number of hoodies and have been known to tuck (one) trouser leg into a sock. No trackie bottoms though!

This was up the dodgy end
BB, see your mistake was to try and be helpful but in a way that assumes that there is a guilty person.
Personally if i had my bike nicked i'd thank you for putting up a spot like this. At least someone is on the lookout.
In order to keep the bleeding hearts happy you must not assume guilt, actually even if you think it's dodgy do nothing, absolutely nothing. That way you cannot be guilty of making an assumption.
Kevonakona +1
i know of at least one person who rides along scaryhill to get to mugdock on one of a number of sexy sexy bikes
not to mention the alpine hobos
Is he a 12 year old ned that cuts about with his top off?
lol no but that could describe some alpine weasels 😉
