+1 for don't bother if it's really wet as riding through treacle would be more fun ,and quicker than the clay/chalk of the Ridgeway

Plant pyracantha it has bloody huge spikes and is far better than glass etc.You can't get sued for having plants in the garden it really is nasty stuff.

I had an early model Fazer and that was a good bike and your money should buy you a later model.

I always refused to pay the political levy of union fees and only really joined for the legal cover

Ridgeway is a day ride end to end of the bridleway bit and a half day longer if you go all the way to Ivinghoe Beacon sneaking about on the footpaths

I would go for a lightweight like an er5 or 6 much cheaper to run .Bigger bikes are expensive to run thirsty and expensive on tyres chains and sprockets.To be honest it's no cheaper than running a small car .Unless you can filter a lot to save time on your commute I would not bother

No

No stabilisers the hobby horse scoot along to get balance works well you can even buy bikes like it now from Isla bikes .Kids don't learn with stabilisers they just lean to one side all the time .Take them off and they learn quicker .One of my boys was riding at three.

I think I alluded to religious bollocks earlier

….. It`s BIBLICAL……argue with that, More religous crap

at it's not against the law to ride on footpaths?

But it is illegal to cycle on footpaths on all the legal sites I have looked at .Even pushing on one is a grey area

The op is correct about this incident stop giving him a hard time

6FT 4 ,here on a Kinesis Cross light 62cm big stiff and not to heavy.

She needs upsetting with her attitude

I assume bigotry is fired by the fear of homosexuality, as if any gay person you meet is going to try it on with you?

I think it's a comment about ones standing in the community(and no hardon jokes because I used the word standing)

So she is probably a religious sort ? I wonder how many Mr and Mrs Smiths have booked in for a weekend of immoral extra marital nookie?

The ice broke though so it wasn't that hard.There must have been some mud .It's no fun without sitting in the pub at night covered in mud and blood

No you won't. bbb do their skyscraper seatpin in all sizes about 19 quid

matching kit and clean ? that's not how we go about it.Then again I have no sponsor to get on the telly.and what's with the tights ..fairies!

Technica from Tesco seem ok bought one for crimbo for my son with the dvd built in and its fine about 180 quid

Probably wrongly fitted them .I am a heavy lump who rides an overgeared single speed and I don't break chains.There was an article where someone got the boss of Sram to admit there is sod all difference in quality between their cheap chains and the expensive ones so go cheap and change often

Go to the tip and cut an old hub out of an abandoned apollo

Tesco pies at 55p and lucozade

Castration works

If you have an imaginary friend in the sky you need help anyway

And they are bullet proof loads around that have done well over 200k so paying 2 grand for one with 120/130k on should get you a car that will last a while basic 90hp one is a bit slow the 110 hp looks a good bet ,(these are diesels by the way)

Womens bikes tend to be shorter in the top tube

But 740 Volvo's are horrible they really are not a drivers car and very thirsty too.Those Impreza's are a bit small in the back and driven by chav's usually!1

I am looking for similar at the moment ,missed out on a Passat with 140k on an s plate £1150 missed it by an hour …

used to run 26/36/46 on 12/28 back in the day…

Passat diesel or Mondeo diesel both have good torque and if you get the right model are quick whilst giving 50mpg

Probably good as you could have slightly closer ratios

Only joking mate!!

Knee pads are for carpet fitters

This is what you get for using a powder coaters rather than someone such as Argos or Mercian who build frames

My son is 19 and his Fiesta costs nearly 2 grand to insure .They must be accident prone in Chatham

My mate has a Subaru engine in his vee dub t25 and it always breaks down .We keep telling him he should have bought a Transit and chucked a mattress in the back

I would have thought a 13 tooth sprocket small enough on a 48 tooth ring it gives a 96 inch top gear
