Well to be honest, I am recovering from an anthroscopy operation on my knee, so my first ride was on this, specially designed to be ridden under water (with your head above the water of course).

Am I too niche even for STW?

Are those jeff jones bars or cheapo on-one copies?

how much water did you get under your wheels 🙂

Did you take it over any sweet jumps?

I expect we will see some similar bars on a rigid 29er some time soon

Lots Jedi – and although I wasn’t wearing a helmet, I had my goggles on 🙂

What tyres for underwater riding?

Rigid tick
Singlespeed tick
Fixed gear tick
No 26″ wheels tick
Flat pedals tick

No, not niche at all

I can’t even do any bombs into the pool Captn, just in case you know! Although maybe I should add some inflatables to the bike, so I can at last get some phat air into my riding in a somewhat safer environment than at Ae.

Onza Octopus, natch.

What tyres for underwater riding?

175/65s I think

While you may have somewhat deflated me by pointing out my lack of niche andrewh, can I just point out that that mini is still very much above the water?

water time is the new air time!

your lawn needs the snow clearing Simon 🙄

While you may have somewhat deflated me

Could be why you ended up underwater?

Well this is true. On a slightly less silly note, I can report some good news in Sao Paulo for once when it comes to safe biking for everyone.

There is a new scheme whereby on a Sunday, a few roads where we live are totally closed off to traffic, and opened up for cyclists who can then ride between three public parks in total safety. That can only be good news and helps to create a safe environment for city riders, albeit only on one day a week, but it is a good start.
