I live in North Leeds and often see a fella on a singlespeed Independent Fabrications bike and think ‘he must be on STW’.

How many of us live around the corner and don’t know it?

Liverpool, and damn proud of it (crap for MTBing though…)

I live in one of the absolute worst (if it’s not THE worst, certainly would be top 5) places in the UK to be a mountain biker.

Vague plans finally afoot to remedy that in the next 18 months though.

slainte 😆 rob

North Yorkshire not to far from thirsk.

Was the Independent a navy deluxe with v-brakes by any chance?

Blue rings a bell Shep, it was always around the junction of Harrogate Road and Gledhow Valley Road; I think I saw the same guy at Kielder 100 2010

Lichfield, Practically the alps of midlands.

could have been a guy called John who rides with my old man, (he rides a orange and black gary fisher) not a member on here.

They both live in Alwoodley don’t know about kielder but they ride round there a lot.

Penistone way, south yorks, although mainly ride road until the new clown bike arrives…

Farnborough Village, Kent.
Not too sad for mountain biking, but not a lot of mountains!

Big Hitter Central here.

Huddersfield born and bred, though now living in Harrogate, dahling.

North Kent. A few local woods and Bedgebury forrest is a 40 min drive away.

jet26, how long have you been in PenisTown? (you must have seen the Look North clip :D) I’ve got friends who grew up there and one still lives in Thurgoland

Part of the South-West contingent (Somerset).

bedfordshire.
Surprisingly good for riding.
Herts, woburn and chicksands within 30mins (or so), thetford about an hour away if you are feeling perverse.
Peaks in 2 hrs.
Not bad really.

Ex of Cornwall, now one of the brizzle massive

Just watching Archie the Inventor on Have I Got News for You, surprised me no end..

Boroughbridge, North Yorks. (not far from Thirsk or Harrogate)

Colwyn Bay, Conwy mountain 10 mins away, Marin 20 mins also gateway to lots more natural riding, Penmachno 30mins Llandegla 45 mins, CYB 1hr 15 so quite a choice 🙂

Ive often thought the same, normaly with the hardtail or ss guys, you know the odd looking ones.

newcastle, uni in aberdeen, now in slovenia, soon to be london, then to edinburgh hopefully

Worcess-ess-ess-estershire born and (in)bred here… Live in Worcester itself now.

Lots of great riding within 30mins or so by car, but naff all on my doorstep sadly!

whitby n.yorks

The mountain bike mecca that is darkest Cambridge 😉

Sunderland.

Launceston Tasmania

ex lichfield now kendal nobody rides around here though apart from thos!roadie types 😕

Greater Malvernshire

3,000 acres of riding and hills from the front door.

The Isle of Man with some other slightly more famous cyclists…… lots of loverly rocky trails, with lots of ups and downs and abit around too

Glossop

Northumberland.

Stacksteads……at the foot of Lee/Cragg Quarry

High Green, Sheffield

Ex Dorset, now Hackney – not as bad for riding as you may think but it helps to leave home early to avoid traffic and then make a day of it. Surrey Hill, Thetford for racing, Chilterns, Swinley for racing, Beastway races in summer. Plus weekdays I can ride to work and not get involved in the nightmare that is driving or trains and tubes to work so a 90 min drive at weekend is worth it generally.

Near Skipton
