HATE MY BLOODY BACK PAIN: it has forced me out of the trails for the last 3 months and I don't know if I'll be able to ride my bikes again! :evil:

MBUK is still great, yeah I feel old and underskilled, but still ticking boxes for a diverse readership, like 20 years on, so love i guess

6" trail all mountan bikes, will comment on that when its finished but I am a bit hardtail old skool at heart so will be an experiment...

Hate bike snobbery if anything, we're all into similar stuff in the same kinda hobby (albeit for different reasons) so we need to be good to each other, which most of us are of course

I do Love some of the new bikes coming out. which means I hate teh trouble i get into for wanting the best of old and new bikes!

Tending to really dislike these wavy bendy new bike designs though !urrrgh.

Hate skipping free hubs

Dislike being the slowest on rides, LOVE the cool caharcters i meet who are also the slowest though
