Off-putting? You take strangers' view on board?

You don't deserve to nail that section.

I'd edit out that extra space if I were you B.A.Nana, otherwise someone will be along to point out the irony of you post.

It was the only way I could seem to do it using bold BBcode, doesn't seem to make the comma any bigger anyhow. 🙂

Plus the walk back uphill would have taken ages.

Had he got huge gonads? Did you ask him how he managed to sit comfortably on his 180mm travel full susser? Or if he'd started to look at his next Pastime/sport/bragging right?

I had an "interseting" "conversation" with a fella in one of my fave locals a few years ago. He had expert advise to give on almost every pastime as he'd obviously spent 6 months doing whatever the latest craze was/is.

Still, each to their own.

Regardless of whether I would or wouldn't ride a rigid SS he is still a knob - if you can't say anything nice , don't say anything at all?

One of my riding buddies was giving me stick last night for riding a rigid SS. He stopped when after two hours of riding I was still kicking his derriere both up and down every hill.

Imagine what living like that must be like, trapped by such fear and ignorance, unwilling to even consider the existence of the Other, even as a way test oneself against such vile temptation, choosing instead to hide from it behind his shouting and denial. Suggests a weakness of mind that does, that and a lack of conviction.

I was out on my SS, rigid, drop-bar'd 29er last night, and was just riding up the road past the end of my next-door-neighbour's drive, when she said hello, and then rather asked me 10 million questions about how long I'd had it, and why she'd not seen it before, how many bikes is it now, et cetera ... and as I don't ever remember actually marrying [i]her[/i], I was a bit surprised ...

I put that down to her being tempted tho' (by the bike 😉 ).
