CHANGE IT BACK


Postby Bjorn Keizers » Jul 14, 2005 @ 5:29pm

My bicycle got stolen last month as well. On the last day of school of all days. I parked it in an area close to the train station with lots of cameras and police about, but gone it was. :roll:

I got a new bicycle on monday though. I can't live without a bicycle, and since I got a good deal on it I didn't want to wait any longer. Time to move on.

It's completely insured for three years, it has the latest AXA lock on it, and I added an extra chain lock to it as well to secure it. It's also chipped and engraved, so no worries.

Nice. Do you actually use it for mountainbiking? ... well, insofar as they *have* actual mountains there :D

You don't need mountains to ride a mountain-bike. Fortunately for me, I have to ride less half a mile along country lanes and I'm out on Dartmoor.

There's a lot of nice fast techical singletrack and some killer climbs. (route close to me called the "Nutcrackers", I'll let you guess the reason...)

If anybody tries to call you square
You just look 'em in the eye, tell 'em you don't care!
If you don't want to be a crazy fool
You better study real hard and stay in school!

Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.
