...the reason why we ride. It's because it is really, really good fun :D:lol: 8) There is no better way to travel. We all know it and sometimes it's good to remember, despite all the hassles, what jolly good fun it is whizzing about on a bike... :D
...all the way...'til the wheels fall off and burn...

    Well said, by the originator of Silly Commuter Racing. I think that always deserves a mention.

    With all of the protest rides, campaigns, helmet arguments, RLJ rants etc, its easy to forget that riding a bike is a great laugh and the best way to get around town (or from some hick village to civilisation for all the bumpkins).
    Have fun, peeps.

    OK so how many post before this turns into a negative thread :roll:

    I like Graeme Obree's statement about his bike being his best friend, and just like a best friend sometimes you fall out and can't stand each other, but eventually it all works out and you're always best friends.

    Ride home this evening was indeed one of those moments, just a short 4.5 miles but lovely evening, not cold no wind bright moon and a belly full of ale = win win

    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Why don't you.........

    Switch off your computer and go for a ride :wink:

    If you are at work you are excused :P
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.
