Riding on a folding bicycle...
Writer Simon Donahue likens the folding bike to "swimming in crepe paper"
Hang on.. we have these in our boots of each car here
But it seems that Salford Nocturne are including a bike race on fold-ups this year. This is despite the fact that a similar event in London notched up umpteen grazed knees
But these fold-ups are not the same as our rather modest ones which we thought a bit pricey. Me and Wildy are fond of Diamond Backs./. and we have their fold up version. We thought we paid "through the nose" at £650. and for the Brampton at £600. but the racing versions are costing £3000 .. UPWARDS ..
Blimey.. more than me racer.. and me roadie hybrid combined. If I added the Stinker of a mountain bike.. with depreciation to date.. it's still a big BLIMEY!
But in Manchester.. with a congestion charge looming .. despite a down turn and real fear of recession (and a charge like this would seal the coffin
) .. a fold up bike has possibilities and may solve the tram/train problem
The MEN writer chose a £60o Brampton. He found it hard to assemble
But then he admits he
Quote:
does not know his carbon fibre from his bicycle clips
The MEN journalist admits the Brampton appears more robust than it looks on the eye
He remarks that his "lycra" is as compulsory as the bikini for the beach volley ball .. but not as "alluring or stimulating"
I just love the beach volley ball .. The
does not mind. She can compete
But the organisers say racing on folding bikes is "taking off".. and predicts inclusion in the Olympics sooner or later.
I think they should have the beach bike.. with the girls in bikinis
What say you guys.. am I right or am I RIGHT
