I don't really mouth off to miserable buggers, more likely to just smile
ah, so the effing and blinding was purely in your head ? Good lad 🙂
This is my first post being a 45 year old late starter whos been riding for a grand total of 6 months now. Have emailed Dave about this article with my views on footpath riding. Can you imagine how much of our 'playground' we wouldn't see if it wasn't for riding footpaths. Sorry, but I'd rather be a bit of a bad lad and ride footpaths, they have taken me to some amazing places, some great views and wicked riding mixed with pushing through horizontal rain on wild windswept moors. Ok, Summer is here now and I pass a lot more walkers than usual, but no glaring Mexican standoffs, abuse or major distain yet. Just a few tuts here and there and the odd laserbeam eyes trying to cut through me and my Corratec. Mostly its polite 'hellos' and 'lovely day'...lets keep it respectful, not only for all of use using the paths but also for the paths themselves. Look after our playground, it will last longer, and the maybe those people who consider themselves our leaders will see than we can conserve our land and will relax those laws that restrict us, or at least try, to wide boring metalled roads.
No matter what I will carry on riding footpaths, even if I have to starting wearing a mask and change my name to Dick Turpin. 'Who's he?' you say....now I do feel old. See you out there.....
well I do cheeky trails all the time - on my own or just the 2 of us and most people are friendly and have no issues is we are polite and slow down etc.
