I once did 30-ish miles (Mablethorpe to Grimsby), when I was about 14. It was okay as it was the front wheel so I just rode home with no hands so there was little weight on the front.

Twenty years have passed and it was very dark tonight, so I'm not doing that again. :o

Well, at least you got someone to pick you up, if I was stuck somewhere I'd be setting up camp :-?

I told my tale of bike woe on my own thread, but I'll finish it here. I've had three flats now, and I finally gave in and bought a pair of airless rubber tubes. They're solid rubber, so they're heavier and a little harder to pedal, but they absolutely cannot go flat. No slime, no muss, no fuss; solid rubber that accurately simulates a fully-inflated tire. I love 'em! :sunny:

At 34 years of age I'd be strapping the bike or the wheel at the very least onto my back and jogging home :DL

Alright, alright! 23 years have passed, if that makes it any better.

Puncture repaired this morning but failed! :cry: Tube is about five years old so I'll just get a new one, tyres are seven years old and need replacing too, beading's coming away. :cry:

Buy a three-wheel ... so you do not have that problem, :cool:

Sounds like the contraption should be on view in a museum :DL

Vendor, are you in London ?? :hmmm:

I was, but is home now, and it seems to be no need to return right now, maybe later...:hmmm:

Bloody hell, I am returning to London since 2004 :cry: Currently I am planning one toeards the end of february 2012, for my birthday :DL

Congratulations, hope you get nice then,:DL

If I did not go earlier, so it will be during the 2012 Olympics...

Yeah, I hope so too. :O:

You could set up as a guide during the time that Bet is there, so he sees the best and most, do not forget them redheads...:O:
