Pumps/bubbles air (and therefore oxygen) into the water. Like blowing through a straw into a drink.

Off to another lecture at 3, just eating a sammich and cruising the internet highway at the mo.

Hes got more important things to worry about than his headset! Ditch the tyres (or at least the front one) and go singlespeed.

In Plymouth i see new riders nearly every time i'm out But then they'll disappear never to be seen again. But generally its increased.

That was my second choice I tend to not break stuff, so hopefully the Truvativ will hold up well. Cheers for the reviews.

I'd get a live-in cook? But yes i would. If only i wasn't an idiot.

Normal outfit, obviously.

Not ventured into Devonport yet (well, when i wasn't drunk anyways). Theres a few rocks up in Millbay, near the Pavillions.

The first picture, i thought i was gonna have to give up trials because of the trousers... Then i remembered it was ok. Glen i like your picture.

Make the trip down to the Hoe and ride the rocks there. Theres also a bit of streety stuff there. Around the bay on the other side of the Lido is another bit of natural which is sweet at low tide. Other than that, i think you've got it covered. Go on a group ride and you'll find more stuff. Its better on a Sunday or on an evening as it gets really busy in the middle of town on a saturday.

I get what you're saying. But i look at it from a biological standpoint. As in, i was born, i live, i die. Theres no proof to show otherwise.

Look in the classifieds, you'll be fine on a second hand bike, and can get a bike worth about £800 new for £400 that will last you for ages. Things to look for: Decent frame, decent rear hub, decent rear brake.

Props to Joe

Sweet, cheers Felix.

Cheers Inur, I trust your judgement! Got one on the way.

Sweet, how much dollar?

Hay guyth. I have an Echo Hifi with ISIS Middleburn cranks, and my current bb is about to snap/die a death. I have a Truvativ/XTR bottom bracket tool which i will want to use. I want to spend ~£40. I want to to not creak, be light and fairly strong. Any reccomendations?

Six foot and one inch.

SICK AS f**k. I'll be out at some point, when i get my act together. You probably can't read this because you're on a bike, but ah well. If i see you, i was the one with a red front Try-All rim.

It would indeed.

But i won't know about it 'cos i'll be dead

I think i'll just lie in the ground adding to the soils nutrients and giving worms a nice meal?

Oh shit son!

Ha, i went for a little ride/sunbathe on the beach today, was an awesome day. Sunbathing in mid November? f**k you polar regions!

Hey man, can't help you out with accomodation I'm afraid (student!), but good luck with your trip, hope you have a great time staying in Europe. I just read your whole post and understood all of it, your English is alot better than some peoples on this forum! I'm sure that between talking, hand signs and writing stuff down, communication won't be a problem As i say, good luck with your trip, and well done for having the aspirations to come over here and learn more about the sport.
