Spores.
That's all I'm saying.

I'd go for a Surly ECR, and something slimming yet zombie friendly from Gore.
In red.

Don't forget your helmet, it's murder out there.

Lit up the carpark at Scolty woods for us (Banchory, Aberdeenshire). Don't panic and keep pedalling!

I once saw two flashes of light whilst driving on a clear cloudless night that had me confused for awhile ... Damn speed cameras!

I don't have a pitch fork. Is a garden fork OK if he promises no kittens were harmed by his murderous law breaking?

FML; I remember staying up late and watching that Fire in the Sky film when I was about seven years old. Terrified me.
