So, there we were enjoying the firms annual Christmas lunch, well I thought you workers can't have all the fun, when Mrs T starts hedging around a question, I always start to worry if the other half of 30+ years feels the need to prevaricate, mind rapidly sorting the most unlikely scenarios, make up your own weird ideas here, when she decides to just blurt it out... "we need two more bicycles"...at this point my beer is joining my traditional Christmas fare of paneer tika masala...to keep at the country estate...and they need to be offroadymountainbikethingies"...WTF
The dark side! :shock:
So I said "29ers", it was the sum total of all I could muster and the sum total of what I had heard these things referred to on bits of a forum I accidentally stumbled into once
Oh well suppose I will have to go along with t'other half and buy a couple of these thingies, it would seem rude not to
Anything I need to be aware of, bike wise I mean, or could this be a trap...

Recognition at last Matthew, well done!, a justified honour
with her having been the recipient of the lovely imholz, it's hard to understand such deviance

One is Exorcism (if you can find an Exorcist for less than 20 Euro's per hour). Cheaper Witch Doctors are available in some parts of Africa but make sure they have the proper accreditation and paperwork.
Another involves medication and electric shock treatment.
The last is therapy.
If you are not prepared to commit to the above, it will be an uphill struggle and life might not ever be the same again. I am so sorry this has happened to you T47 and I can only offer my deepest sympathy. When she starts mentioning flappity shorts and starts speaking in terms of 'meh' and 'gnarly runs', this is the point of no return. It's so very sad when someone contracts these symptoms and worse, such behaviour attracts some very odd, strange people of similar ilk.
I wish you luck T47 and if you need some starter cables and a decent 80 amps per hour battery, just let me know.
So you don't have to pedal them up hill then, I thought as much, I have heard about uplifts in transits etc, do you have a hub motor, I think 48v should do it? What does Stevo use?
I thought perhaps a mini ski lift set up that grabs the bike and person together.
The starter cables were for use on Mrs T47.
Bad news if you're a miserable git Mr. T as these things are - say it quietly - good fun. Difficult concept for some roadies I know but I am available to give you some advice on this strange fun thing :P

But being delusional is funnier. Keep it up Stevo, the TV is carp at the mo.
T47 need not fear, I know people in their 60's who go to Bike Park Wales. He'll kick himself when he realises what he's been missing, but at least there's hope for him yet, unlike some miserable [email protected]

I was well aware that the jump leads were for connecting to mrs T, how do you think I get started in the morning?
@Stevo, don't tell the others but I had a mountain bike back in my late 40's
Only burn them off if they are being cocky otherwise you're just a censored instructor as you won't actually be instructing just being a club cyclist.
