We bimbled up to South Shields today, me on my SSed Soul (26, obvs) and OH on his bike ([i]avec[/i] pannier) for beer and a sausage roll (me) and a pheasant pie (OH). Pottered home via a couple of pubs... All in around 40 miles in about 7 hours- what a smashing day!

Took a bimble across the beach (Gwithian) on Friday, don't worry the bike was stripped, flushed and oiled.

Was surprisingly enjoyable considering it was just flat riding, I think I enjoyed the puzzled looks more....

Hadn't seen this thread before, but I'm definitely in the bimble along category, especially as I've knackered my left knee and ankle.

Does it have to be fat rubber?

As long as you're just fast enough to keep it rubber side down - its a bimble!!

Anyone bin bimblin'?

Took in a slice of Pembrokeshire with the wife last weekend. Lovely day out, apart from her bike going tringle speed due to a snapped rear gear cable until we found a bike shop. I did the fixing that while she went shopping. The rosé was a little under-chilled, but not unpleasant.

Headed out for a full days bimblin' yesterday, stupidly decided to take in a cheeky bit of singletrack, completely mis-judged a jump and ended up in A&E with a broken collarbone. This bimblin' lark turns out to be dangerous!

Only ever bimbled really; I love it (just waiting for the bike industry to catch on and try and sell us all a specific bimble bike).

Liking the look of Skankin_giant's drop bar Swift; I've kind of settled on a Swift as my next bike.

Here's my Bimblecore weapon of choice.  I tend to ride with stuff in my backpack, or do some local bimbles on it.  Definately not a group ride weapon, but gr8 for solo exploring.

I might add gears, as although I love the idea of single speed, the reality is that my knees and chubby frame don't suit it.

Please may I join the BimbleBees?

I like a bit of a bimble myself.

Although I do enjoy pressing hard on the pedals on occasion. (Not that anyone else can tell)

Perhaps I can be a part time member ?

Or like on a probationary basis until I have proven myself?

Did some great bimbling around at the weekend on the new bike, had a lovely relaxed tour of the local woods heading down all sorts of small and muddy paths to see where they ended up;
