I'm the same as you, unless i'm off out with the family to some place a bit too far to cycle.

My boots, Gelert something or others, had them for about 5yrs and they've been brilliant but are just starting to leak so i'll be looking for some new ones soon.


Bike, Land Rover Tahora.

Just a plain old hillbilly from southern Uhia ;D My family roots in America,were in the Blue Ridge of Virginia and North Carolina from just before the Am. Rev. It's been said that a lot of English from the 17th and 18th cent was somehow preserved in Appalachia.
Working on getting a decent camera for some decent pics of my bikes...might be nice to have for myself,just in case I have another spill,and nothing's left of a bike but memories. :-[

I used to use my mountain bike to go everywhere.  Now I just use my car.  It is definately more expensive but faster. :)

Cycling is enjoying a real resurgence of interest in the UK as a lot of people are simply being priced of the road.

More and more people over here are using there cars less and less, because (at least over here) cars really don't work!

Over here... everyone seems to be buying motorcycles.  I think I saw more cycles this year than I've ever seen.

Apart from the fun factor, I think it's a combination of the fact that motorcycles are for the most part cheaper to run than cars, and the fact that for the most part there unaffected by traffic jams :)

                     In these parts,motorcycles are part of the"follow the current trend" before MC's it was SUVs that everybody just had to be seen in.ATVs are another thing that have widespread popularity here,almost daily you'll hear of a fatality aboard an ATV,or a theft ring that concentrates on ATVs.
