    I have supsension forks on my mounting bicycle. They are very good and enable me to ride over bumpy stuffs more comfortably.

    I didn’t know cows went around puching people? Maybe it had a calf and felt threatened? Anyway everybody knows that all mountain bikers wear helmets to protect their brains against trees 😆

    it’s like seeing a picture of a member of the Archers cast there’s a jarring between what you have in your head as an image and the reality.

    I bet you don’t sound like Eddy Grundy either, TJ 🙁

    Bloody hell; the effect of TJ wearing a helmet seems to have warped physics and the landscape behind him! 😯

    Bloody hell TJ – you’ve got a proper bike and everything. I always figured you’d be steel lugs and thumbies – y’know, keep it simple and light… 😉

    yes, it’s not quite as circa 2000 Marin looking as I was expecting, either.

    So TJ doesn’t talk like Eddie Grundy, look like Bernie Ecclestone or ride a 10 year old Marin with two saddles.

    I’m quite shaken, tbh.

    Can we have an ‘abandon on remote island somewhere in the south Atlantic’ option please?

    Probbly best not, eh? 😉 Keep the thread on something mundane, boring and uncontentious, and we should be ok….

    But Nick’s a lovely cuddly chap – just a bit lonely and wants to make friends with his own type of people. He’s just very misunderstood.

    ‘Stanfree’; is that a bit like this?

    [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb2Awn_dYTs&feature=related[/video]

    I think we should be told. 😐

    Stan free, as free as the wind blows
    As free as the grass grows
    Stan free to follow your heart

    Stan free and beauty surrounds you
    The world still astounds you
    Each time you look at a star

    Stan free, where no walls divide you
    You’re free as the roaring tide
    So there’s no need to hide

    Stan free, and life is worth living
    But only worth living
    ‘Cause you’re Stan free

    (Stan free, where no walls divide you)
    You’re free as the roaring tide
    So there’s no need to hide

    Stan free, and life is worth living
    But only worth living
    ‘Cause you’re Stan free

    Did you know how fascinating the Brazil Nut Tree is? Can’t be grown in plantations because it requires a particular type of bee to pollinate it, and this bee will only be in the area if there’s a certain type of orchid growing epiphytically on a near by tree. Apparently boy bees like the orchid, and the lady bees are attracted by the boy bees and pollinate the brazil nut flowers.

    Due to the complex pollination requirements, brazil nuts can’t be cultivated in a plantation – they’re collected from the wild. And contrary to the name, most of them come from Bolivia, not Brazil.

    The ‘nuts’ are contained in hard spherical pods. These pods can only be opened by certain animals, such as agoutis, macaws and capuchin monkeys (who use tools to smash them open). Oh, and humans.

    Now, who wants to hear about the three toed sloth?
