pffffft e-bikes - who put the E in rEtro? Yes he IS '...looking at you funny....' There is a history to these modern destroyers-of-the-trail...... It's genuinely not that e-bikes will one day be retro - there's a line of historical e-bikes ALREADY OUT THERE....

bloody hell that's torn it, the temperature outside here has just gone up by two degrees.......i'll just turn my CO2 sequestering device...

Well that probably took the electricity supply of Austria to produce - stop asking it silly questions and producing buckets of CO2!!!!

For a while I have wondered whether the BOTM etc photos could ba made quitr a bot smaller and the 'new threads' listing box be increased very significantly in size to accommodate more threads - and oerhaps a 'today's ride' photo box which updates with the latest picture posted...I think it would...

....and you carved one hell of a braking rut in that second photo...impressive work

ooooh breezer and in the right colour too

No that's definitely not what I am saying. I commute by bike by choice. I do DH by choice. And there are risks in that of which I am aware. You took a decision to ride a big feature bike park and more recently you also asked your child to wear a helmet, which sounds as though largely it did it's...

Er....up to a point Lord Copper. I resist speculation in such cases since the details are not clear yet. What has been said is that his movement is compromised below the chest. This suggests thoracic rather than cervical injury, although this is merely speculation. But to extrapolate from the...

Excellent!
