New to SPD's

ah, it is the toe clips things, I assumed it was. Ijust didnt want to say anything and look like a plonker.

I quite fancy a go in a 3 wheel recumbant, I can imagine they are hard work on the hills though.

luckily i live in norfolk....ps down wards is very fast .great fun tho.

You ride under a series of staggered concrete posts? Sounds like a 3 wheeled version of The Mole from Thunderbirds. Impressive.

The Signals are nice enough guys, though they do seemingly hold each other's hands a lot. Despite their best intentions they never could make the old Clansman gear work properly, so I used to take great delight in showing them. A Green Jacket with an Amateur licence - even heard of one with an O level once, though never met him.

my dad would say that you could tell a mans rank by his ability to spell his name properly......

i could do it by watching how they walk...my dad was a w o 1 and i could hear him stomp up the halls and know it was him without looking

They're a laugh, especially offroad. Hills can be a problem, as the rear wheel has very little weight over it, and it'll spin easily in the rough. They properly use a different group of muscles though.

My wife rides one, as she never learnt to ride a normal bike as a kid, and could never build up enough confidence to be comfortable on 2 wheels. I got her on a bike one way or another!

I wonder what your Dad would have said about a man from his punctuation and grammatical prowess?

Rifleman and proud, no intention of being a lifer, much to my Dad's chagrin as he made Major. Nevertheless, a Rifleman with an amateur radio ticket.

Well, first proper ride this morning before work, loved 'em! Cleats want a little tweak but other than that I can see a long and fruitful relationship with this clipless lark

hed say."YOUR OFFICER MATERIAL SON!"....


ps glad you are getting on with spds...just dont ever use a bus to lean against when chatting to friends behind you...the pain of hitting the kerb with your hip is quite suprising..

No more shenanigans then! (this isnt me by the way, but it could very well be!)
