Old School Grand Master
I have been "tractor free" now for six months. I had a relapse a few weeks back but didn't really enjoy it. All that mud and sore hands? No thanks.

That because they would be the sort who bought a Specialized full susp to compliment their specialized roadbike and specialized lycra when they went to the specialized concept store.
I have nothing against the majority of cyclists, be they tarmac or mud based, however the sort who go paying big money for mundane branded bikes (specialized- the vauxhall of the cycle world) just because it came from a "concept store" annoy me more than they should.
Them and tokyobike!

Initially the mtb and then the road bike.
I seem to be getting more and more on the road bike and less off-road, despite the fact there is quite a large woodland area near me.
I am not sure if I am just not getting it or am simply a closet roadie.
I guess I am not really overjoyed about being covered in mud but could it simply be me or the fact that I just don't seem to gel off road?

Just seems so easy to hop on the bike from my front door and head out, rather than have the hassle of taking the bike somewhere to get out. I'd sell my mtb before my road bike....
