Learning to Ride A Bike
It works on the same principle as electroshock therapy.

Cocks!
First rule of cheeky trails - no-one talks about cheeky trails.
The guys at Bogtrotters seem to have missed the point and are happy to publicise their indiscretion in one of the UKs biggest National Parks, on a Sunday afternoon on both their own website and
the biggest cycling forum in the UK.
This kind of stupidity beggars […]

MTL at Night
Night riding officially rocks, so when SteveM came up with a plan to go out and get lost on Saturday which then morphed into a plan to ride the Mary Towneley Loop in the dark, I was up for a bit of that.
So how did it go…
We _might_ not have got all the way round […]

Mr Finesse is not at home today
I’ve been hob-nobbing this weekend. I had the opportunity of a four day pass out, and Chipps invited to stay over in Calderdale, and then be taken out riding on his new trails.

They bring to mind all those junkyard bikes we’d build […]

Really Fugly
On behalf of everyone with a sliding dropout who has been insulted by my assertion that they are fugly I bring your attention to the Rohloff speedhub.
There are those who have fallen for the Rohloff way who now look upon the humble derailleur as “agricultural” compared to their rear end heavy, weight distribution shot to […]

More Engineering
We went out and rode on gears last night. Once again as I wheeled my wife’s Turner out before the ride I looked at the streaks of rust dribbling through the shonky seals of the headset onto the fork crown, and thought “I really must get her a new headset”.
Still, at least it’s […]
