    Ok, I'm sorry for posting this up if it's on here if it comes up "every month or so" up and my crap spelling, but it cheered me up and helped pass the time on a training ride.

    they were probably out on a 100+ mile endurance ride, and you needed to give it your all to overtake them

    I don't think so.

    I've given up on that for a while now Andy, you never know, maybe in the summer?

    There are too many drivers like me on the raod putting me off dusting it off just yet.

    We're currently living at the Mother In Laws while our new house becomes vacant.

    I know who I'd like to punch, but I bet she feels the same about me too.

    Dave – Avoid the Civic as it's the harshest suspensioned car I've ever driven, it didn't feel too bad on the test ride but after 120,000 miles and 3 years I'm glad I've now got a Mondeo.

    I've had a couple as company cars about 15 years ago when petrol was cheap.

    Fantastic to drive but becasue of that they are so, so thirsty.

    I'd hate to run one now, but they do a diesel version now

    Ok, Ok I'm sorry, I take EVERYTHING back.

    I want to see their bikes returned just as quickly as everyone else on here.

    I'm just used to the great service they offer our local neighbourhood.

    That's not what it says on the bill, I wonder if they will charge for the complaint phone call as well.

    No button 3 was ever pressed afterwards.

    It's just to see who's number had called if we didn't get to the phone in time and they didn't leave a message.

    Did the police finger print the Apollo bikes?

    I bet not, too much like hard work.

    Hope both bikes re appear soon

    Great prices and good choice of stock, I've always bought over the counter and never mail order as I'm quite local.

    But they are a miserable bunch who work there, smile for once lads

    Had a chat with the Welsh trail builders today and it sounds good for the future apart from thinking about charging for car parking [tightarseicon]

    The new trails can't be ridden on and they are working on the skills area at the moment. On the trail the top section was a bit draggy with all the snow melt but the rest was as good as normal.

    3 loops of the black and only 1 dab, quite chuffed although I've not got the balls to ride straight down onto the 2 log section at the bottom of the black and into the quarry as yet 😳

    They are spending a bit of money on art work as well

    Try some bent bars like Brants Carnegie's Bars, they hold your hands and wrists in a more comfortable position than straight bars

    Usually the last bottle I drank.

    I think it's a Shetland beer on mine.

    What you need are some of these as well

    Buy a £130 water proof jacket and just ride your bike in the rain.

    You'll be selling the rollers again in 12 months if you buy one.

    I'm 5'8" with a 31" inside leg and ride 3 x 29ers

    There's a Meduim Niner Air 9 and a Meduim Framed Gary Fisher Rumblefish amongst them and they are just right for me. The smaller framed versions were too small even for me 😳

    sorry john climber, that has to be the fugliest bike i have ever laid eyes on, and i regularly read a "bike trolls" thread on the uni mtb page….

    It might be fugly, but I don't see it while I'm riding it, it's the best bike I've ever ridden and it's far too good for a crap rider like me.

    I loved my Cotic BFe with Pikes until I found the joys of 29er wheels.

    But it doesn't stop the fact that they are funny to look at.

    They ride great though.

    Just like your mom.

    Class line Stu, I may just steal it 😉
