At night? You struggle in the day!

If I can't see what's coming up I might ride better.

I will steer and I know a flying* scotsman in a kilt who can power us up the hills

*Refers to falling rather than actual flying.

Got bored with my old Rockhopper and tried to tart it up a bit. Was walking past a shop with it a a group of kids were hanging around, one of them shouted out, "That bike looks S****!. To his friends not me lol.

First attempt

IC inspired lol

Final attempt

That has to be the most sketchy night ride I have done yet. Thick fog made visibility about 1 yard infront. I had to rely on memory for what was coming up in places. :eek:

I should take up luge.

Reality|Bites · 17 Feb 2011 at 22:47
