    I've just been given a mountain bike. It's a Genius which as it turns out is a Scott. They're quite good aren't they?

    The 50 is accurate & it will run for around an hour on just the one charge........put it in 12mph mode & it can run for around 7 hours

    Let me know your address and the times when you will be out and I will make sure no-one steals it.

    I've not been able to run since early March due to a dodgy Achilles but it's now good enough to be able to cycle. I've been out a few times the past couple of weeks and quite enjoyed it.

    So in a fit of excitement I've entered the Stockohlm Velothon I've now got 3 months to get from having the odd pootle out to 155KM at an average of 24km/h minimum.

    I didn't realize there was a time cut off when I entered but apparently the Pro race is after the MAMIL event so they sweep the roads.....I'm a bit worried now LOL

    What's with all these fat tyres I'm seeing these days? Fad or function?

    Ha ha! For me, a casual cyclist, those could easily be 8 reasons not to buy one!

    A 60's Burgundy Raleigh Routier. that has no serial number on the frame. It burns through the town centre. And When I finish with It , It will take pride of place in the Transport Museum.

    They're getting quite popular over here in the Winter but to be honest if it's snowing that much I'm putting my ski's on.

    I've never heard of Après Fat Tire Biking but Après Ski is definitely for me...
