Just got myself a little bmx, within the last week. First proper trip was too Harrow Skatepark last weekend. Was wet and a little slippery but I gave it some. Great fun. There's loads of skateparks everywhere!
I could meet you if your willing to accomodate my slowness on the flat and uphill as I will be riding a FR ht bike. Will be quick DH though :D
So probably the opposite to a fixed s/s.
What BMX is that? Mine looked indentical to that and i've always wondered what it was. As much information as possible would be great ( If you can remember)
Had two youths run at me, but spotted them and rode off.
Recently had a hooded chav run at me, but again, just rode off.
Couson had two Samarlians (sp??) try to attack him for his bike in town, He decked both of them.
Friend had group of stoned/ Khat eating Samarlians try to get his bike on the canal. Didn't though
Hairychested, the lanes in actual Slough alonge the Bath road tbh are superb. Something like 2 miles of lane. Interesting comment about the West Of heathrow.
Yeah fair point. I have been on other cycle paths, ( although oddly i just said i do not use cycle paths usually??) on the cycling side of the line and had people just appear from the other side. Most are probably not aware of the dividing line. This is where my bell comes in handy. :D
Yeah usually I do not use them, but this section of road has some major lorries going along it over the bridge to Heathrow, complete with traffic islands that narrow the road. Oh well no harm done.
the older guys did not appear to be such a risk, other than being awkward as they did not exactly stop me riding past, just seemed to try to block the way as i approached. The guy running at me I felt was however a real risk. I also I suppose it's possible he was running for something else, but seemed unlikely.
Near Slough/ Back end of Heathrow. Only ever had youths run at me once before, many years ago in West London. Not exactly a dodgey area this time either. I suppose the risk going out late on a weekend eve is always going to be higher than normal.
music is a passion for me – Punk, Indie, Electronica, Techo, Trance, Hardcore, Jungle, some Pop, Some classical, Some disco, Some rap , some hip hop…and of course grunge..
I'd say, ignore the size and get a feel for it. That heckler is a very versatile bike and should be fine running different stem lengths and seat heights and builds.( as too I'm sure the newer ones are.. )
