This looks fabulous and interesting. Bike shops in London have another craze for this kind of bikes in London.

The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Spent over 6 hours out on the bike today. I was ready to get off!
The Mid Antrim road races were being held today,so I decided to go mid afternoon. When I arrived at Clough village,the road was open and no racing. Around the back of the circuit I stopped and spoke with some of the club who were clearing up. Turns out the local paramilitaries decided no one was racing today and poured oil,threw nails and broken glass over the course,as a result it all had to be cancelled.
I felt so sorry for the boys who gave up their time and the money it cost to stage the event. It's a club that's never been blessed with too much cash.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
I keep forgetting to take a photo of the bike 'somewhere'!! TBF, riding has been a bit stressful the last couple of weeks but I think I've cracked the issue and today, whilst still a smidge stressful, much much more enjoyable

In a way, hating lack of respect for the Queen is almost honourable. Almost.

Given that it isn't the first time it's happened, I somehow doubt that that is the reason this time - but a good excuse?Yorick wrote: Sat Sep 10, 2022 8:05 pmNormally these nutters have a stupid reason.Noggin wrote: Sat Sep 10, 2022 6:25 pmThat sucks so bad!

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Outside my friend's shop in Bourg St Maurice. Aces ride down, not so happy back up (bike and me ok, others not so much
)
Loving these sunny autumn days - although I do need to lose a handful of pounds to get into some warmer trews if I'm gonna keep riding when I'm cat sitting

Licence suspension over
Steady ride around some of the local backroads to get back into the swing of things .. 3 years plus and it's still a keeper
