Yes but it does look fast

a bike is only as fast as the guy riding it and unfortunately my legs are like lead this week

bikes now fully assembled and ready to go, tiz very nice

Is makin my gonads ache just bloody looking at that seat I expect to see you on utube at some stage then trying to beat that pillock who tried going down that hill as fast as he could with that space age lookin crash hat on, only to go a**e over t*t halfway down .

"it'll be like sitting on a razor blade"

actually a road bike is very comfortable when set up properly. had first ride today and its very nice, rides real well, gears shift is very good and its the perfect size for me.

26miles in 1h 26m, average speed 18.1mph and top speed 38mph

What's your time for 10 miles Craig?
Al

never actually done a proper timed 10 mile but i do 8.5 miles in 25mins every night on the way home, and that's on a heavy bike with luggage

and of course i have to thank dean and Steve as well, especially dean for doing all the admin

i got it on the cycle to work scheme where the government will allow you to buy a bike and make the payments from your wages before tax and national insurance. so you get a cheaper bike as long as you use it to cycle to work. you can only do it though your employer so without their help i wouldn't have been able to afford it

Craig,

We had no choice, couldn't put up any longer with u asking if i'd applied yet or sent off the paperwork yet etc etc every 5 mins!......

Enjoy.

Dean

its alright dean, i didn't tell them that it took so long that the price went up "twice"

HO is that why I got told no to curbe crawll

the weekend is nearly here... time for another ride

of course, if its raining the boardman will stay in the garage and i'll be back on the "cheaper" one



but not the commute bike, have enough of this heavy thing all week...



maybe the cheap "leave anywhere and not worry if it gets nicked" bike ????...



er, probably best not to use this one ...

seems this new bike may cost me a bit more money yet..... i was caught speeding the night i went to collect it

Thats a bugger!!! do you think you could get Dean to set it up so you can pay the fine through your wages before tax and ni lol



Mark

actually dean found it most amusing and has convinced himself im getting banned

What speed where you doing? how much over the limit?

89 in a 60

Just aswell you like to cycle then Dean might be right! my mate got done for speeding, he was doing 86 in a 60 and got banned for 6 months!!!! but it seems to vairy as i read in the paper people doing 88/89 and only getting penalty points so hopfully lucks on your side.



Mark

I'd rather be banned than fined, like you said i ride to work anyway and its far less stressful

You might find you get both mate + points therefore higher insurance. Oops!
Al

Also if you are banned you then have to retake your driving test.
