  • never been the quickest on the draw.

    i was going to spell it out but realised the blood was not in your head

  • oh Richie. look what we have missed ^^

  • Is it friday already?

  • i don't buy this. has there ever been a case where something revelatory has come from the unfortunate person that has had their bike nicked?

    I have never seen a 'ooh, shit, that's a new one - better change how we all lock", only posts suggesting that person either had the wrong lock, wrong technique or "freelocked" (come on). EXACTLY what i'd like to hear if i had a bike nicked.

    remind me not to post asking for help if my bike gets nicked.

    Were you around for the Kryptonite BIC pen shit storm?

  • Were you around for the Kryptonite BIC pen shit storm?

    a fair point.
    did that come from someone here posting it, or was it a viral type thing, though?

  • a fair point.

    Happened in 2004, way before this place

  • oh i see see what you mean now, yeah, two men could never lift one and a half frames between them.

    ...uh that's one wheel, assuming it's a bike, it has two of those, so that's almost 7 kilos just from the wheels, plus the frame which are usually ridiculously heavy and all the other stuff on them I wouldn't be surprised if they were around 25kg, which when it's as bulky as a Dutch bike, can be quite hard to carry for a substantial distance.

  • there have been numerous cases of people here who are regular cyclists who have failed to lock their bikes properly ( "oh teddy" and eyebrows to name a couple).

    One name: Fiddy. Except he was charmed and never lost one ... or did he?

  • You couldn't lift a Dutch bike, Scraggie... Not with your back...

  • Not two of you, scraggie...

  • Ooh!

    :D

  • Bet you're the life and soul of the party eh?
    So you agree that two men couldn't lift a dutch bike?

    I'm sure they could, but i'm sure you'll agree that would look pretty suspicious, attract a lot of attention and only 2 idiots would try it. Speaking of idiots, you did just ask someone whether they thought 2 guys would be able to lift a bike wheel...

  • ^ Smartarse... ;P

    @ scraggie not BuckyBoy or Mr Wogan...

  • Scraggie's starting to sound like GA2G...

  • ...what fucking idiot is going to lock their bike to itself in the middle of the night?

    Is it half term or something?

  • How big are the frames?

  • ^ Good fucking question, Richie...

  • if 'hoops had two dutch bikes, i could wear them as earrings.

  • Speaking of idiots...i said one and a half frames or did you miss that bit?

    Just the front wheel alone;

    basically the front wheel weight as much as one and a half frame.

    That's where you got the one and a half frame shite from.

  • that bear could lift two frames

  • Anyone for camomile tea? The kettle is on.

  • Granny drink.
