Mrs on a bike

Finally got the missus on a bike for more than just the London Freewheel!

Signed us up for this year's Freewheel, as well as the leukaemia bikeathon (weekend before Dunwich).

Training rides going well, and she's still keen - thanks to the saddle that Hops recommened a while ago, Almost talked her into bike polo this afternoon, almost. Tentative agreement to come on the next social ride though.

Now I just have to try and get her onto a gear-less bike...

I think you should allow her at least one gear.

no no no

you can't beat the purity and simplicity of a no geared bike.

You can't beat the simplicity of gay speed walking.

Do you wear carbon-fibre shorts?

Yeah, 3K chafe-resistant weave in the crotch.

Awesomeness! Have you seen the new Nike aerodynamic cod-pieces? IOC are trying to ban them but they will be okay for the world champs this year.

do you have those ski poles with rubber bungs on the end to stride purposefully through the urban jungle with?

i've seen those speed-walkers ...they look so funny with their arms flailing about.

Well done Stompy just don't push her let her do what she feel comfortable with at her pace. My other half is riding nearly everywhere now but still gets off at big roundabouts, that cool, I'd rather walk with her than have put off by try to negotiate a three lane roundabout.

Nice one Stompy and Mrs Stompy. I gave my girlfriend my old bike and now she rides more than me...

do you have those ski poles with rubber bungs on the end to stride purposefully through the urban jungle with?

oh, do you mean hip-hop slave sticks or arrostiks?

The original slave sticks were made from bones.

Ohhh yeah.

that's no walking, it's cruising with a number on yer back

send her to the trixie's.

Don't listen to the Reverend Roxy Moon... It's a cult, I tell you...

:p

send her to the trixie's.

No thanks, I want her back
