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.
Well, thats a great start folks - let the summer bimbling commence!! 😀

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!
Great username for the story^^^^
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;
