A long ride today with lots of people about so lots of comments, one or two even managed to be quite original.
My favourite, which was a new one, "your back wheel's caught up with your front". Quite surprising as it came from one of a group of guys drinking beer next to a narrowboat who all looked rather rough. Other amusing one was "that must be hard work after you've done a mile". I could only reply "It is, and I've done about 8 miles already".

Today in the lovely sunshine and unusually warm weather for an Easter, I was passing a wooden bridge over a canal between two lakes. I walked over it, because it is too steep for me to ride over. On the top a man stood looking at the water and the people in the canoos.
When he saw me he said: "I don't have any comments ..." Then, with a friendly smile, he made a thumps up  - and added: "But it is impressive!"Best regards, Sanne |

Yesterday as I was resting beside my new 36er, a lady came up and asked me if I could ride it. Then she said "You must have big melons"..... I had to ask her twice what she said because I thought it was so awkward that she was talking about my man breasts, they're not that big are they?

I found out my 36er box is in another city when I went to pack it up yesterday, so it's stuck in my university town 200km away for now; today's ride was on my dad's bike.
So I was out with my sister, and I got this idea to try and use my feet to steer on the handlebar. Soon we were both coasting along with no appendages below the top tube. After passing a couple people, we both realized that doing so gets exactly the same kinds of reactions as when I'm on my unicycle. A very little kid, spoken with an amusing inflection: "woah! what is that?". I really felt like I had to have been on my unicycle. |

I can imagine that you can't ride that bridge up. The slope is 24%.
