Binners- Yep, that’s the route! Riding in Manc was the best education for road riding I’ve ever had, it was complete mayhem from start to finish. The buses aren’t as bad as the taxi drivers to be honest, Rusholme was a law unto itself, and the back streets in Didsbury weren’t much better. The amount of Range Rovers purposely aiming for you was fun.

I was once spat at by a roadie coming the other way one morning, on a long quiet back lane. He saw me riding towards him from about 300 yards away too, the swine.

To be fair, I attribute all the bother I had being down to the fact that I’m not an attractive young lady, riding a shopper, with a flouncy skirt, headphones in, and running red lights without a care in the world. They never have any bother.

+1 for what Crikey said and+ 1 for Dirt being the best bike vid ever. Tis what riding a bike is about, having a laugh, because bikes are stupid.

Blackburn? You must be mad!

My grandpapa is called Helmut.

I keep my helmet on the pelmet.

I used to do about 5 miles ish each way from the centre of Manc to Didsbury every day. The amount of scrapes and near misses I’d get into from drivers and other cyclists became laughable. It was like Mad Max out there, truly beyond the thunderdome. I used to hate it, even when I learned a quick back street route. Stay off the main roads and good luck!

Hebden Bridge is the only place I’ve found to be both pretentious and utterly grim at the same time. Well, the two do go hand in hand I suppose. Lancaster is much nicer, I reckon.

Two of the easiest jobs on a bike- do it.

Underwurlde was my favourite.

Clapton is a Sod.

Nice 29er that.

A subscription to MBUK.

Maybe your relationship just needs spicing up a bit? Just ask if there’s any way you can involve Rocky in the bedroom as I’m sure she’d love two strapping young studs giving her attention. In fact, if she’s up for that then send me a pm and I might be interested in joining in too.

Give the man a prize. Decent troll though, 6/10.. would be an 8.. but you’ve made too many replies in such a short time.

Carrera is the only way to go.

Will keep an eye out Shipley way mate, hope you get them back.

I was having a rather delicious turd at work when I suddenly had the uneasy feeling that someone was watching me. I looked up, and there were two eyes peeking over the top of the cubicle. As I was mid way through, I didn’t get the chance to chase them and find out who the dirty cretin was.

Hope you get the £60 quid back mate. You could then get an Apollo from Halfords and swap the bits off the On One onto the Apollo frame. ;)

Pork pies for me.

I thought about ordering a new saddle, then decided not to, but crc read my mind, came around to my house personally, the day BEFORE I thought about the saddle, and fitted it on my bike, whilst also caressing my thighs and buttocks, to ready them for the saddle. They also gave me a £1000 voucher and wiped my brow with a fig leaf soaked in lavender oil and threw in a free set of solid gold project two forks.

I’ll certainly be using them again.

Sell it and get her a bike?

I can’t hear the music, is it by Milli Vanilli, or 2 Unlimited?

Ah, Terminator, the greatest love story ever told. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. He travelled across time for Sarah FFS!

Prometheus had better be decent, or else. I’d agree that everything looks a bit too shiny when compared to the other films.

The real reason M&S are struggling?

Jamie Redknapp and Gary Barlow.

S&M Supplies in Macc. I bought a coal scuttle from there once.

Best. Thread. Ever.

Shipley here, some wonderful riding on the doorstep.

Newton Aycliffe as everyone south of there talks funny. And Manchester is in the Middle of the country length ways, so is the Midlands.

There are some right Master Bakers on this thread.

They seem to love roadies, but hate mountain bikers.

Toilets.

One half decent album from 1987 warrants his legend status imo. Great troll, 8/10 for effort, op.

Rossi46- Your friend has good taste, I’ve got a DX v-brake on the back of my Lava Dome and a disc up front. Love this thread!

Toasters.

+2 for mboy talking bollox. High rise has worked for me since 1997, despite the recent bandwagon of flat bars.

I don’t know if it’s street legal, but it’ll certainly worry people when I’m out on the trails. At night.

Purchased.

Recently while sat in the Stretford End watching Bilbao hand Utd our arses, the two gents behind us never let up from discussing their pensions. Far more inappropriate conversation given the setting!

I bet that was the most noise from the home crowd ever heard at Old Trafford. :wink:

Just let out a massive burp and then stare them both in the face. They’ll sharp get the hint and move.

Your house must smell of either crap or jam.

£3700.. for a pushbike?
