You can travel for miles quickly but a walk home can take hours and hours.<br /><br />I always carry spare tubes, batteries for the light and a chain.

I have a friend who ride a cheap bike and he keeps up with us because he is so fit. :o)simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329985554257923069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260855408191704213.post-21375717916468838852010-07-29T16:35:09.737-07:002010-07-29T16:35:09.737-07:00ok well i did have a half(only half) decent bike b...ok well i did have a half(only half) decent bike but i gave it to my daughter when she went to university. my bike now is crappy but i love biking anyway. we have some great trails here. i got stuck down one by the river couldnt push my bike up the ravine<br />i had to call my son ... good thing he was home for the weekend, and i had my cell and i knew where i was... to come and help me get out.<br />great fun tho<br />i wonder how many days i would have been there..... :)<br />~lauraPooch Purple Reignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460865405701466468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260855408191704213.post-29303383209830264752010-07-29T16:05:38.058-07:002010-07-29T16:05:38.058-07:00Pooch- action without action? oh yes it happens a...Pooch- action without action? oh yes it happens as I get older.ahahahaha! ;o) You should try a bike there great fun.
