Need i Say Anymore?

Sign says it all

With my recent happenings on my daily commute, i think i would definitely stay away from a road that was displaying this road sign. Trouble ahead? i'd say

Handgun Control, Inc., says they want to "keep guns out of the wrong hands." Guess what? You have the wrong hands.

I've just read this forum about carrying guns when going out on a cycle. Are these people are going to have to resort to?

Its a sad day

There comes a time in a young man's life where he realises he is never going to ride his skateboard anymore. If i do get the urge once again, hopefully i'll earn enough to buy a new one.

This was my Lush Longboard, would be true companion if the weather was ever nice enough to ride it. It'll go to a much better home (i hope?).




Check out the camber on it, it was amazing for carving turns. Small kick tail to olley up kerbs- perfect board.

Back to Basics

I'm considering going back to basics and putting a rigid fork on my mountain bike. It will be carbon, so it will still feel quite comfortable off-road. I'll give an update of how they ride.

It'll also look pretty cool too.

"Clean" fast food

Yup, "borrowed" this image from Singletrackworld webpage.

I do like chips, i wouldn't eat them all the time but for a wee snack- great stuff. I heard a story last night about a chip shop somewhere in Motherwell. It was a popular chip shop with the locals, the owner was always keen to show customers that they had a high level of cleanliness. So they made sure didn't touch the chips with their hands, instead they used a small metal scoop. This was handy for giving the correct portions aswell.

One day a dog came into the shop and laid a poo right in the middle of the floor where all the customers que-up, instead of doing the right thing of picking up the offending jobby, bag it and bin it. The owner just used her chip scoop to shovel the turd up and throw it out onto the street!!

No doubt getting straight back into shoveling portions of chips.

Adding to the RTA stats

Well, as the title says i got knocked off my bike on the way to work yesterday. As i had guessed it is really sore when you get thrown to the ground when you're travelling at around 25-30mph.

As you would guess, it is annoying when a car doesn't use they're rear view mirrors and pulls out in front of you, flipping you and your bike to the ground.

And finally, as you might have guessed its really hard taking photos with a hand that doesn't work properly;






Luckily these painkillers are helping me along.



I'll post some pics of my bike and helmet later...hope its ok
