[Closed] Was it you pushing a bike down the llanberis path from Snowdon on the 25th?

Please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, potato waffle, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me, please don't let it be me... nope, weren't I.

It wasn't me or my immediate family.

Was he pushing a blue Grifter ?

**I have no affiliation with blue Grifters, but I thought it best if we hit this from two angles...you know, sort of process of elimination, confirm non presence & eliminate certain bikes at the same time. Columbo taught me this approach.

I think I was in Anglesey that weekend, come to think of it I haven't been up the Llanberis path at all this year, so no, definately not me.

Just checked and it was none of my mates either. Do you want names, that way you can rule them out?

It could have been me.

But I live in Norway so it probably wasn't. I'll ask my friends but they live in Norway and don't bike so it's a bit of a long shot.

Edit: Actually I just realised you're looking for someone who wasn't biking so it might be one of them afterall.

What was the question?

Something about Edward Snowden - don't worry, the Feds are onto it.

Now that this thread runs over several pages its quite difficult to know who it definately wasn't and who is yet to say it wasn't them. Could someone put together some sort of spreadsheet of who it wasn't and what they were doing instead so that it can be cross referenced and corroborated. It could later turn out to be a valuable historic snap shot of MTBing in the UK, a sort of doomsday book but with only IT literate cycle shirkers in it.

Not me btw, I was pushing my bike down Skiddaw at exactly the same time and date. But nobody saw me so no one will ever find out.

bump to give those who haven't yet posted an opportunity to help the OP by ruling themselves out.

BTW I've checked my diary and it doesn't mention anything about Snowdon so I'm still not sure.

Some nerd spammed my hotmail address and sent loads of mails to contacts in there, of all the mails sent not one of my contacts has owned up either.

Sorry, I tried (in a round about way) but failed...

Also, what are the best all-round tyres for pushing down Snowdon?

Would you be better with your tyres flipped of directional?

Wasn't me either I was in Morzine riding Laps of serpentine looking for pussywillow

I have asked a few biking friends, and they all say no. Please delete the following from any database/pie charts:

Steve
Matt
Phil
Andy.

Thank you.

Out of interest, was he/she pushing carefully, or at maximum pushing speed? We could all gang up and laugh at them for getting it wrong!

We're doing this wrong.

we need pictures of people pushing bicycles and then the Op can decide if they look familiar;

We're doing this wrong.

You might be right. What if the OP meant that this mystery rider who wasn't any of the above, or so they say, was [i]pushing[/i] a bike down Snowdon? As in pushing the bike to the very limits allowed by the laws of physics in Wales without exploding. I bet somebody would claim responsibility if it was that meaning and not the other meaning. If you see what I mean.

In the interests of openness & equality I wanted to confirm that it was neither I.

This is the only picture of "Pushists" that I have.

Hope this helps in some small way, towards your quest.

Like pushing the envelope?

It was me !!!!! 😳

q mikewsmith........

wordnumb That would be a Maxis Larson.......... 😉

^^^^^^^Solved!!^^^^^^^

I did in April.

Pushed to the top and then on the way down within 5m on the first set of steps mech caught in spokes, ripped 3 spoke out and buckled my wheel so it wouldn't turn.

Tried to true but the missing spokes meant i couldn't bring the wheel true again.

Walked down most of it to avoid the buckled wheel rubbing through the carbon stay on my yeti and cracking it!

Character building!

ps have a clutch mech now.

I did in April.

Are you totally sure it wasn't more recently than that?

Stoney - Can't tell if you're joking or not, but a pair of Larsens on Snowdon would probably make for a memorable ride.

Mrchrist - I took a walking group up Snowdon round about then. A green (I think) Yeti with a pringled rear wheel rolled past us about 5pm where the path turns to tarmac making a worrying sound of rubber against frame. I made the universally recognised expression of 'mate, that doesn't sound healthy'.

I'm afraid it wasn't me either. I was flying around in this over an Australian wine region at the time...

[i] But nobody saw me so no one will ever find out.[/i]

If nobody saw you were you really there?

Still waiting for quite a few returns from colleagues but 2,563 peaple have confirmed it wasn't them, no one has claimed responsibility. I'll update later this week.

I took the liberty of placing an advertisement in the Times. Hopefully we can shed some light on this quandary forthwith.

It wasn't Dennis from Manchester because he was riding round Le Gets on his own, unless he got lonely & hot footed it to Snowdon but I doubt it.

Turns out it wasn't anyone on our payroll, so that's a load off the list.

I've been trying to track down an old school mate on facebook and finally found him last week.
You'll be glad to know that it wasn't Tim Jones who went to the Newcastle RGS between 1991 and 1994.
He's not even a mountain biker.

Hope this helps.

PS Wasn't me either.

I had a dream last night , in the dream , it may have been me. 😯
Can't be sure though as it was all fuzzy when i woke up.

4 pages!
My best ever OP!
