Just got me one of these as running disagrees with me and I'm turning into a scrawny fat fucker....  Can't say it'll see many mountains but looking forward to trying it out / smashing myself up / falling off / selling it / buying lots of bits for it / getting mugged for it / getting flies in my face / breaking it. Anywhere round here that's scenic and all downhill? |

Maybe it's just the photo but the handlebars appear to be missing on that bike. If you want my advice then handlebars are very important. Don't go down any hills with out them fitted to your bike. Hope this helps.

Get yourself down Cannock Chase one weekend, it's bikers paradise round these parts! Follow The Dog is a great trail to do for beginner/intermediate stuff. The Monkey Trail is another notch up in terms of difficulty with some proper ropey but fun parts, and then there's the downhill runs at Stile Cop for the proper adrenaline junkies: chasetrails.co.uk/images/maps/ftd_cc_map.pdf |

It's getting an airhorn and my 800 lumen torch strapped to the front of it. |

Any form of biking that does not involve at least 1000cc of throbbing engine is utterly gay and you might as well wear pink lycra and watch glee.
Cyclists are only there to just miss when you're out in your car, or to blare your horn at when you're about a foot behind them ;D

I like to see cyclists fall off and hurt themselves.

22.4 miles tonight.
Got a puncture, got nettled, riding on pitch black tracks, ate countless flues, totally fucked yet strangely enjoyable.

Think Hanchurch woods is as good for Mountain Biking as it is for dogging. Know someone who bikes very seriously, he goes to the Alps for competitions and things, and he's always down at Hanchurch practicing.

Left the contents of my stomach on Cannock Chase earlier today, that aside it was most enjoyable.

The Holy Inadequate is supposed to be a great pub but drink the beer instead of filling your boots with it. Wet feet isn't a good thing.
