shercofray Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Not sure if this is a pointless topic but.. Today I rode 31 miles on an Inspired to ride some spots. Obviously the bikes are not built for distance, soo how far have people ridden just to get riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onza pro series guy Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Wowowowowowowow... hold up. You used your inspired as a school bike? You mad unt© you know and ting! But seriously it was actually alot of effort, hence why i posted it. Don't knock it 'till you try it, riding that gearing a good mile or so everyday at 7 in the morning and then back after a long day in school was seriously tiring, I only did it because I had no other bike and no money to buy another for ages.

SamKidney Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 My Inspired was my daily ride to and from school for a good 6 months Id love this! Get streety on the way to school! Forget Leo Noble - After School, before school would be class. I want one just for this now :') 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Used to ride my mod to school back in the day, that was a couple of miles or so. Once you get used to doing it it's not so bad! Same with riding any distance in a sense - whenever I ride London I usually don't mind riding 15-20 miles a day plus riding at actual spots themselves. Just hitting little curb cuts and stuff on the way is pretty good fun and helps keep it entertaining. The longest ride I've done on something other than a road bike was around 40 miles on my BMX to go ride a skatepark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iChimpp Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Crick! 31 miles ... I ride 3 miles to my spot every two or so days, and 3 back. Not counting to riding I do in between, if so I reckon it would add a extra mile at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza pro series guy Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Get streety on the way to school! it was fun at first but after the first few months I had used everything i could on the route, plus I got fed up of having to limp to and from lessons with bleeding shins. Ultimately it got annoying and very tiring. Plus having to lock up my ony trials bike in my town and leave it unattended was quite scary, every day I'd wonder if it was going to be there still, just shows my school isn't as bad as first thought, the only thing that happened was someone let down my front tyre.

Ahh I see. Our school has bike lockers so theres no risk of that. Id still enjoy it massively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I rode 28 miles to cannock today on my kona, just my arse that is hurting, legs feel fine surprisingly. Think i may have to upgrade seatings soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 21 miles on my trials bike in one go. Used to do about 120+miles a week on my trials bike though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Maybe 5 kilometers max during rides yea I'm a rebel, f**k miles! I could never use my trialsbike for transportation though, way too big risk it would be stolen. When riding in my hometown I just go on my schoolbike and hold the trialsbike in one hand at the frame.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Used to ride 7 miles to Peterhead to ride then 7 miles back. That was back in the day when I rode a 16" GT Backwoods. I don't think you can count the bodged Orange Zero that I did John O' Groats to Lands End on... although I did have a bit of a bounce at Lands End so I guess you could say I kinda rode down to ride the rocks. So yeah ~897 miles to go for a play? Beat that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it wasnt a mini seat and 22:16 ratio? Haha, not quite. I had middleburns with an uno 32T ring on the front, 5 working gears at the back and the worlds longest seatpost! lack of pannier mounts meant I had a tent strapped to a small seatpost mounted rack and a 55 litre rucksack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
