Look mama, no brakes!

lpg lol, i joke. i am actually really slow these days ... i quit smoking a few weeks ago, so i think i just need to get my legs strong again.

Nice one - me too. Only a couple of days tho. Timed a couple of hills on the weekend and I'm gonna try and measure the difference over a few weeks.

My gfriend has said she'll quit smoking if I start wearing a helmet. Fair trade?

Devious and clever, she's clearly not to be trusted!!!

yeah, fair trade, I never wore a helmet for ages, but have had several falls in the last few years and my most recent involved my eye and a police van wing mirror, if I had a lid on, the lid would have taken the hit. Instead I had a shiner for 2 weeks. Needless to say, I now ride with a lid!

yeah.. I once crashed (on a bmx..) at fairly high speed into a grass path, flipped over the bars, slid on my back for a few yards and banged my head hard before stopping. I got up completely unharmed apart from the slight dis-orientation, but kept thinking if that had happened on asphalt/cement, my head would've been splattered. Started using a helmet after that and I pretty much don't notice it anymore.

Yeah, I'd say so. Anyone who stinks of fags = yuck.

Tell her you'll wear a helmet if she learns to skin up as well.

Yup.... she certainly is brett.

Nah, skinning up ain't a problem! ;-)

She don't smoke that much, but I've got a weak spot for rolys after a few pints so I end up smoking them too. Bugger.

it sounds as if he just wasn't paying attention and didn't leave enough gap between you.

it also sounds as if he doesn't know how to draught another rider.

basically, it sounds as if he might be what the americans call a "douchebag"

but don't quote me on that

Yeah, he was just foolish. There are times when you need a brake, especially downhills because your stopping distance is increased a lot. That's probably why most brakeless riders live east - flat like pancake.

Anyways, i better sell my cigarettes - who wants some? English marlboros ...£3.00 per packet (what a bargain).

lpg (always hustlin').

"skin up"? what does that mean?

sorry that was me! was really distracted looking at your ass, then it got bigger and bigger and I was like "woohaaa cowboy!".

no, not really.. But it could've been me! Except I have a brake.. So no, I guess it couldn't.. bummer :(

lpg maybe it was me, and my dodgy toe clips came undone :p

I bought my girlfriend a helmet on Sat and then my bike fell over at the Freewheel and cracked mine! Fscksticks!!

Cajeta "skin up"? what does that mean?

Don't listen to them! This is the truth behind skinning up..
