Yes - I love riding my bike. It's an old red one, not sure of the make etc. It was gifted to me from a friend and I use a tag-along for my son, really fun:)
I would like to get white-rim tyres soon and maybe a more comfortable seat.

Chainless cruiser??? A chainless bike - that sounds wild!!:thumb:
You all own some neat bikes.:)

I own a lovely black Brompton that i use to cycle to uni...

since i can hear all the bike snobs scowl and sneer, i can claim to part own (since Mr Nightie owns) a "(psy)Cotic BFe" and a "Cotic Roadrat."

Since Mr Nightie is a motorcyclist as well as a downhiller, he wanted the power of a downhill bike without the ponce of a folding bike....... so...... he had his "Cotic BFe" sawn in half:eek: and had 'joiny together things' (the technical name for them:blushing:) hold it together, so it is now completely portable by motorbike:guitar:!!

Mr Nightie has owned many bikes (Marin, Giant, Raleigh commando back in the day:guitar:), but his most impressive one was his KTM downhill bicycle ... he got it to match his KTM motorbike!:straightface:

PS: I can pop wheelies (if 3" off the ground for a 1 second duration counts:()!
 
Hey, I wondered if any of you cycling enthusiasts were aware of the seedy side of biking:eek: - well, it's not really seedy:rolleyes:, it's just bikes with seedy names:squiffy:. A lot of the major bike manufacturers had fun with the names of bikes, just to embarrass the riders:doh:, mind it's pretty hard to embarrass a hard ass downhiller going 30mph on a dirt track:guitar:....

I thought i'd just share some of the names with you for your amusement (sorry, they're rude, but they're genuine bike models):blushing:

COVE bikes offer a.... hooker, std, g spot, stiffee and many more that are even more risque`
KONA bikes offer a.... stinky and for the Moz fan, they also offer a Jake, a Jake the snake, and a Major Jake bike:lbf:

this ride was only about 3 miles...

from my office to a few blocks from the old house.
 
i did this a couple of months ago... absolutely unimpressive to the rest of the world, but i was so pleased with myself that i'd gone down stairs on my bike and hadn't fallen off! yay!



yes, the music is everyone thinks he looks daft!
this is set to private on my youtube account, so not sure if you can watch it?:squiffy:

that's not a seat - that's a sofa!!!:lbf::lbf::lbf:
Looks mighty comfortable... butt ache is one of the worst things about biking:squiffy:

it felt like i was sitting on a bar stool the first time i put it on.

the feeling of falling while riding a bike sucks. i got used to it pretty fast.
