That's down to my fitness, not the bike. the riding position and the lack of gears will make it harder to use.... I never ever had a problem with that before dude. I rode a BMX for the first 16 years of my life then ditched it for drugs and partying, but during my 20s (when I was 12.5 stone and lived in London) I used to ride for miles with no issues. In fact, just to prove a point I rode my Haro Shredder from my home to Box Hill and back (28 miles). Every time I used to have a bike with gears I would break it. Seriously, my bikes live a very hard life. So to that ends I never got on with mountain bikes (riding down stairs bent the derralier (sic) into the spokes) so I always chose BMX. Most of riding a BMX is just standing there any way. Once I get strength back in my legs that, and the bike, won't be an issue. |

I was sponsored by JAD bikes for a while and rode a lot of street. I bought the Ripper because at the back of the beach where I was sitting there is a path that runs for a couple of miles in both directions. So I can just take a nice slow ride either way and get my legs back to full strength I can also maintain it properly, unlike mountain bikes (I fucking HATE gears and gear cables and so on). |

I used to love going to Bognor / Littlehampton as a teenager. Margate/Ramsgate etc may have had miles of sandy beach, but you had to walk about a mile out from the waters edge before you were deep enough to swim. |

Or they fall out of tune and the chain grinds, or makes that annoying clicking sound. Or skips etc. Maybe if some one had taught me exactly how to tune the things I would have had more success on mountain bikes. Malc wrote: I used to love going to Bognor / Littlehampton as a teenager.

I'd never been to Bognor Regis before I moved down here. I'd been to Littlehampton loads of times and that used to be pure sand. They've slowly started throwing in handfuls of stones now though. Last summer was a bit crap really. The summer before though? I spent two weeks in the sea. Absolutely loved that summer Jas - thanks ! I'm hoping I get to do more of it this year. The winters are terribly harsh. I mean, rattling windows and howling winds. Summer is the pay off, and last year was a bit poo. |

Yay for Glastonbury ! had a few issues (like getting stuck behind a poo tractor for 45 mins, the food was crap at both places we ate and our noses were really stuffy all the time we were there) but mainly enjoyed it very much. Don't think I want to go back but it's nice to have been to that part of the world. |

Unfortunately our new owners need me to do a proper ordered handover of all the IT systems. I'm doing this at quite a rapid pace so I'm hopeful I'll be able to get out a week or so sooner, but it's still dependent on them agreeing. I'm doing everything I can to escape faster. |
