Coastkid of this parish is in today’s Edinburgh Evening News.

Is he ever not grinning and wheelying? 😀

Just don’t stray into the comments section… 🙄

Nice article, pity about the t**ts in the comment section.

why do comment sections always bring out the lowest of the low?

And why do we always end up reading them despite the forewarning. 😳

… or because of it.

Let’s jump in and STW the nasty comments to death.

There’s a reasoned response in there that looks remarkably like TJ’s work, so the nasties are doomed 🙂

Teej, could it be?!

No mention of helmets… can’t be Tj Teej

Some of those comments are brilliant!

Made my day!

😆

Now when this was first posted I didn’t see the comments, now I’m going to have to look, and no doubt get all cross…

Don’t get cross unk, just have a laugh at idiocy of others! It’s a damn shake we can’t put a few in the stocks & pelt ’em with fruit!

Don’t get cross unk,

Yeah turns out I could mock them, then I could laugh, and grin. much better… 😀

Nice comments section!

In a way it makes me sad and I want to reply some sense into them but on reflection its just better to let them boil themselves into an early grave of hatred. Suckers.

I’m impressed at the wheelie & grin; brilliantly executed.

Isn’t it! “Look I’m having fun, don’t you hate this, just having fun, on a bike… careful you’ll have an aneurysm.”

Keep it up folks 🙂

I use a giant green welly boot that was once used in an advertising campaign as my main mode of transport..
I have tricked an Aldabra giant tortoise into thinking that the welly is his shell, and over a period of years I have also cultivated a rampant alcoholism in the beast, thus with the power of a can of Tennants Super dangled from the end of a fishing rod, I can ride around in the welly and steer the beast..

I am fed up to the back teeth of folk on these ponderous ‘fatbikes’ putting the heeby jeebies up my welly with their cavorting in the dunes..

Only just last week, I had seduced a fair Lady of the night to take a ride with me across the sandy heaven of Lothian’s fair shore, where we were deeply embroiled in the depths of a Lawrence of Arabia fantasy, when suddenly we were startled from our revelry by one of these lycra louts..
It took me nigh on three hours to bring the welly back under control, by which time my maiden had completely lost interest in helping ‘rescue me from the desert’

enough is enough I say..

Down with this sort of thing

You should register with the Scotsman’s comments board and post that. 😀

why do comment sections always bring out the lowest of the low?

I think William Shatner sums up the general attitude of the comment section in the lyrics for “Has Been”. Although not directly applicable the general sentiment about armchair critics / keyboard warriers holds.

Riding on their armchairs
They dream of wealth and fame
Fear is their companion
Nintendo is their game
Never done jack and two thumbs Don
And sidekick don’t say dick
We’ll laugh at others failures
Though they have not done shit

Song.

Yunki – Careful now! (as Dougal would say)
