check out their Emotion sports wheeeee! Not yer typical leccy bikes from them. I tried one earlier this year.

Saw a couple going at it just beside the BMX track in Avoriaz. Yes, I nearly crashed.

On another ride I warned my sister about a bridge with parallel boards that a bike could get stuck in. She tootles merrily across the middle….Genius all knowing brother proceeds to drift into the slot, slowly go over the handle bars, across the side and into the snow bank down below. Cue much hilarity and "He knew! He knew!…he even knew, He told me! ahahahahah!"

My epic and and stumpjumper seem to have survived with longer forks. Just need the same at the back end to keep the Plough/stumpjumpers pedals ABOVE the ground!!

I have two FS bikes for hire, http://www.cosybike.co.uk/bicyclehire.html

Could do a deal for two weeks.

I think paddling would be easier in a real sea kayak. Boat would be lighter as well.

I've got a hobie mirage drive coming but I know it will be slow and fat in comparison to a real kayak. but it fits in my van and I like pedalling! It can sail too.

My folks have an Aleut 2 and they are both in their 60's. they camp in some luxury for days at a time in that thing and can range up to 25 miles with little effort. 5 knots easy.

As with bikes try before you buy, get a used one and save cash. prices cheaper at the end of the summer.

commonwealth pool is shut for two years

Ours hibernated – we assumed they had died and they were buried…Oh well…

labcrafts LED striplights are excellent

I upgraded the cable in my van and everything got brighter. Cable runs in there are only 3 – 4 metres.

No good for a single person local shop. our somerfield became a lidl. The demographic has totally changed and the staff are not as friendly.
Less choice, No scottish beer!! I’m sure its great for families and buying in bulk though.

Most 10 year olds know this stuff. 8O I did. Some of you are seriously delusional and kidding yourselves on.

Here is a picture for you all to colour in. Later on we will go to the library and learn stuff. :roll:

Upgrade the Infra red detection already on your face and Accoustic navigation.

One way lungs like birds for cycling uphills.

I’ve toured shows to some. They didn’t seem like they had a lot of cash.

I’m sure they educate as well as anyone else and probably more opportunitys for the less academic. I’m sure I would have excelled at one!

something broke? error?

the paramedics on scene were reportedly performing cpr in the ambulance, and could be heard from outside…….one was yelling “you wanna be starting something, ya got to be starting something”….while the other was crying “beat it, just beat it”….

Kyle will sort you out, he does motorcycle logistics too. I think he is in England just now give him a shout.

or
I have a van coming from yorkshire to glasgow on sun night if thats any use?!!

Me http://www.cosybike.co.uk Slightly niche but some of my clients are massive! and they keep coming back so I must be doing something right. Totally turned out different from planned as well.

Going from Derby to York with Cycle Derby if anyone is interested this weekend. 89 miles! eeek! http://cosybike.blogspot.com/%5B/url%5D

I want weetaflakes! Asda has something called weetaflakes but its not the same…
Maybe you could only get them in Fine Fare?

mmm taste the nostalgia! and other additives.

The Cal mac ferry to Lewis is leaving shortly…space for two. A couple of days up there and they’ll be installing disco lights in their flat.

Brilliant – thoroughly recommended.

Take the meaning of “traverse” with a pinch of salt! and watch out for those thorns.

There appears to be an increase in light and wind tolerant species this year on the west coast.

It’s still not bad enough to stop you coming. Check your dates and avoid Golf tournaments. Far more carnage from them.

A boring fact – Number 3 in the UK Communist party at one time….My Grandpa! Taught himself russian and everything. Some Real russians stayed with his son once and were apparently in awe…. “You mean THE party?”

They went camping on Arran a lot. Pretty much like siberia out there in the summer.

my goal in life is to work on a show where i can cause a blip in demand on that site.

not sure it’s achievable

Couple of postings in the Blue Room…..some syncing of lighting desk clocks…..And they might just start up Cruachan PS just for you!!! heheheh!

if you are really bored you can monitor demand at the national grid website.

This lot are friendly and know stuff. http://fordtransit.org/

Grading and Inspection to ensure it is up to standard. Ask your tourist board – They will tell you what you need for your level of Grading/Stars.
Pointless Dressers, mirrors, chairs, hairdryers and Suitcase holder will all be on their list. However daft and irrelevant you think they might be other people (Americans especially) expect and do use them and you do actually want to make a profit!

A graded establishment can charge more and get a better quality of customer.

How are you going to Guide as well?, Clearing breakfast, changing beds and cleaning takes until about 11am. Then the day is yours until 5pm when the next lot arrive.

Gawd I’ve turned into My Mother aaaaaaaaaaaaaaghghgh!

Bike snobs on STW shocker!

Don’t knock it till you try it….
When the bike snobs are all a bit older I’m sure the STWelitepro will be snapping up electric bikes to extend their cycling careers. They are beginning to look quite elegant now too. (The bikes not the STWers) For short range hooning around I’m sure they would be great fun.

Electric bike show in wales this weekend. Cosybike will be there. Planning ahead for the bike snobs inetivable demise!

Braehead seems to be fine. You do know bike shops are there to actually make a profit and are not government funded services?

Evans Cycles Rethreading a crank or two. When everyone else was SHUT! Apparently they are all left hand dreads. Sorry Threads. Cosybike has Cool Mechanics. They wouldn’t take any money either so I will promote them.

Moya and her driver.

No it sounds just about right.

but he should let you know where he’s going, what the back up plan is and take a mobile. Common sense is often learned by faffing it up. Although it sounds like he had plenty of initiative to get help anyway.

advice sent via PM

The HDrive stuff is a bit of a faff at the moment, and for some of the consumer ones, quality is worse than tape.

mpeg streamclip for mac and PC is handy.

I’d consider a wee mac mini from ebay purely for the video editing. The good stuff is dear but is so worth it. Downgrade the version of Imovie too. the new one is pants although it does HD natively.
FCexpress is only £126 and leaves so much more time for actual mountain biking!

amstrad 6128 followed by a powermac 6100 that worked for 15 years!!! cant say it was ever maintained much either.

My current machine is as old as the 21st century and is still going. see look- tippity tappity typey typey.
