Can I Have A Go On Your Bike ?

'No, sorry'

'Oh go on, please?'

'No, sorry, I don't let anyone on my bike'

'I won't go far or do any tricks, go on mate'

'I once did that and someone rode off with it, so I don't let ANYONE on my bike any more'

(Didn't actually have that happen to me but it shuts them up every time)

I learned it the 'hard' way. I was at the skatepark once and this foreign kid came up to me and asked if he could ride it. I agreed. He tried to do some wheelies and then came back after a minute. As he was approaching me, he just lost balance, fell, and my front brake lever got bent. Luckily, I didn't like my front brake at all, it's a shimano and the pad has lots of play. I managed to bend the lever straight.

Now when I ride, kids will come up to me and ask for a go, and I'll always say I'm on my way home and then go somewhere else to ride. I'll only lend it to my rider friends.
