blitz Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 You sad sad people, don't you know that if God had wanted us to ride bikes, he wouldn't have invented ignition keys. I've got my coat and I have left, quickly! Quote
DAVE O Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Just curious!I've seen loads of posts on ere about mountain biking but non on road bikes....wots the connection between Westfields & mountain bikes Don't get me started on road bikes - I can bore for England on that subject Taster - 1987 columbus SLX with full campag delta groupset restored to it's former glory last winter - Heres my old MTB as well - Quote
samcooke Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Those bikes don't look very practical for putting your shopping in and if it rains, the lack of mudguards will mean you get spray all up your back. Here's how we do bikes in Cambridge : Quote
combatsapph Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 QUOTE Just curious!I've seen loads of posts on ere about mountain biking but non on road bikes....wots the connection between Westfields & mountain bikes Road bikes - you ride from A - B as quickly as possible, in a group of 40 totally ignoring the scenery. The bike is just a means of A-B travel. You must ride in an inconsiderate manner to other road users (two abreast?). Mountain bikes - more of a solitary or small group activity. You enjoy exploring and trying to get the most out of the bike - you love adding "techy" stuffy to it without really caring what it looks like. And you don't care how long the ride takes, as long as it's fun. I can certainly see the link between Westfields and mountain bikes :-) Right, I'm off to hide before the cycling short brigade descend for vengeance! Quote
