N.Wood Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Everyone who rides a bike for fun has it, you won't grow out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Think yourself lucky, you've still got to get to the point where you start jumping up/across things, to see if you could make it on a bike.Thats when you look silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG L Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 iI always do that but the good thing is if you drive through a really good riding spot you know where it is and can go there with your bike!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Worst think is when your watching TV or a film and are like "i bet i could make that gap...look at that wall!!!!!...i could drop that" etcGets annoying after a while lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Greenthumb Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I walk in the same style as i would ride, i.e swerve across roads, down sets of stairs for no apparant reason, climb over walls etc.It's worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scazz Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 It's only a real problem when you start announcing "I bet I could make that gap" with other people around. I enjoy thinking about hopping around on my bike, but it appears other people don't share my enthusiasm for obstacle evaluation. Bus ride conversation normally follows something like: *10 second silence* me: "Ahh, I could prolly bunny hop that bad boy" guy next to me: "Shut the hell up" *20 second silence" me: "Dude, thats a nice gap" guy next to me: "Nobody cares" *20 second silence" me: "I was on my bike yesterday and I -" *guy next to me takes a swing at my head* Topic changes until the next 10 seconds of silence, and then repeats.

blinky Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 *nods head* all of the above, although i havent started walking like i ride yet lol. although i do seem to piss my non-riding chums off when stating which walls look gappable etc. the worst thing is when you go on holiday or something like that and you wish you had taken your bike as soon as you get off the plane...yeah thats gay.
