Hi! Hope you get to ride a bit more often over the next thirteen years, one trip to Buxton would treble your yearly average! Post a pic when you get chance?
Hello there dirty hands ! Please post a picture of your bike with your bins, unwritten forum rule. Thank you! Your story brings to mind an episode of Modern Family (not sure if you have it over there). At the family garage sale Phil hesitantly takes his father-in-law's bike out for a test ride and it tips over, he does dramatic cell phone video to his wife... This you tube vid starts out with a few characters talking and then goes to Phil, there are also very short funny miscellaneous scenes throughout. BTW-this is my favorite show. It's hilarious!
Forgot to mention, he references wearing his "shants" ...pants where you can zip off the bottom half and end up wearing shorts. The Phil Dunphy character has developed a huge following for his comedy.
