Nursery for New Members

What?

Oh, yes, I did.

Bloody hell, 1984 isn't the year you're born, is it?

facepalm

Please explain. Am I

1. Younger than you expected

2. Older than you expected

3. A tool for putting my DOB in my username

4. All of the above?

Younger. I thought you were older than me.

Wierd. Yesterday I was buying cigarettes and they asked how old I was. Srsly.

Clearly an attempt at a chat up line...

That's not because you look 17; it's because you look like you could be under 25. Which I don't understand. To make sure people are 18 they check if they look like they could be 24.

They're just doing a morbidity study about the effect of smoking on people. Nothing to worry about. ;)

Hmmmmmm, hello all!

Hello everyone - looking to get me a bike to get round the city on. Like the look of some of the old Peugeots but heard their a bit hit and miss?

they are cheap for a reason, but fine for a basic commuter

Hi everyone, hi Chainbreaker....
Don't bollock me please, but this is my 3rd post & I've got such a lovely avatar once I post this & get out of the nursery!
Lovely to meet you last weekend, CB, what a gorgeous day we all had. X

Yeah, I'm not expecting the best bike in the world, but there seem to be plenty around that won't need too much work...

CB met a lot of people on Saturday who might well have an interest in Judy Garland.

Oh Will, will you never forgive me cause of a continual laps of aging memory?

hahahaha!!!

I'm a newbee, old (cycling for about fifty years ) and recently discovered how much I don't know about it (Check out Sheldon Brown's Website and find out how much you don't know). Been invoved with computers for a long time (the first one I played with had a valve in it and germanium transistors). Not very knowledgeable about the either. So I suppose it's a good idea to have a nursery. My son runs a website (I understand the moderator thingy) so I just Skype him if an emergency occurs that I can't muddle my way out of!
Just got a Tandem again (Dawes) so need some bits to customise cheaply and quickly. I'm sure I'll get the hang of not Lurking!

Hi Robert,

Dont worry, most people here dont know much about nothing either. Youre in good company! But they will tell you anyway. Especially not to lean, just dont lean.

Welcome to the friendliest forum on the internet!

Thanks For that CB. I live in Cycling Heaven (Norfolk) but don't speak the lingo! But must go as "she who must be obeyed has got me to do some plumbing or she won't pedal the next time I persuade her to trust to my steering! I've got to find a long stoker stem thingy as she likes "sit up and beg" while I prefer head down! So bye for now.

No you don't.

You could go and ask questions in the sale threads.

Or make an effort and get a little more involved
