    the same as the chances of you not falling off, and all this talk of i, i, i, what about the kid ? shows where your priorities lie, sounds like the kid would be better off at home

    There's a 50% chance of me falling off? Codswallop, to put it politely. Do you advocate me going out walking with my son in a backpack? I might fall over!

      wow, thats the best idea you've had, infact you could even ride your bike that way, obviously there is no chance of you falling off, so what could be safer :wink:

      If you'd actually read my first post you wouldn't have wasted that one. If you haven't got anything constructive or at least logical to add, then move on.

      Getting a bit off track - nothing wrong with a pootle along fire roads, gentle singletrack etc, but in your initial post you were talking about techical riding, which in my book is something that requires a certain level of skill, and a probability of stacking it if you get it wrong.

      And we clarified what I meant by technical in about post 3, so referring back to post 1 is pointless.
