My 8 and 5 yr old sons are far too observant when it comes to my bikes..

Surfette wouldn't notice new kit being added but as soon as anything is fitted they'll straight away start asking "what's that Dad?", "those are different Dad", etc...

I have a similar problem I own 4 completes and 1 in pieces I'm looking at selling 1-2 to afford 1-2 more and build up spare one I also have the G.F. who is able to spot new parts this poses a problem when buying new parts the way I found round this was sign up to sponsor me website gain grassroots sponsors then I need to buy their stuff.

Hi all,
This theme may seem a bit of FUN.
But the subject of bikes , bike parts, riding bikes ,trails , holidays , injuries, people one meets and costs etc . is boring to a non rider as listening to someone on the phone just as I am about to go for a ride .
ANYTHING ELSE is left ( house work cooking gardening tiding up-unless making room for more bikes and parts ).
Looking forward and planning next ride and changing all other obsticles in the way to make sure they happen.
Excuse of DOG NEEDS A RUN is always a fall back position.
I have had my cards taken off me to kerb my spending.
Tortured by being told to sell one or more of my dozen bikes,(Now spread across Essex to protect them and a excuse to keep them.)
I talk to my bikes (Concerned they may start talking back and will end up either mental home or getting them washed with
holly water.)
(They get polished enough already and certainly in this weather do not want them iced up.)
I know I have problems but what a price to pay .I walk around smiling happy and full of energy instead of miserable and not looking forward to today.
I am not going to stop being happy so the rest of the world can watch and smile as I fall off .
Anybody who does not have a passion is not living , so I recommend ride on my de-ranged friends ride on.
Bob

Hi,
Not out tonight at Lakeside. Dog will be happy as she will have another run round the landfill on the Rainham marshes.
If Lakeside is still on let me know.
Please.......

Hi,
Its good to see the river ,wild life, dog having fun.Nobody about only do slow speeds and sprint now and then then wait for the dog.
Its bouncy where the people have walked and iced up.
Ingrebourne the other side of A1306 is fun in the wood tracks.Also recommend the Chase and Eastminster country park ,it is on gravel I think and solid to ride on.
I am working Sat , but Sunday morning I am up for a local ride.
see you about ,have fun.
Bob
