GingerMidget's new bike!

[Madness]

That second bit is just mean.

But true. So very, very true.

You should go to Wellington. It's a fantastic city to be in with a bike.

[Geeen]

That second bit is just mean.

Still true though

[nzspokes]

hm. Think i'm going to have to come down to wellington now

Some of the wind we got on the cape ride was pretty full on. Got to say my bigger bike is way easier to ride in wind.

Wait. You want me to be nice?
I can be nice, or I can tell the truth. You can't have both.

I lived there briefly, I'm therefor allowed an opinion on it. It would be nice, if it wasn't for the stupid amount of people in a tiny area, the huge traffic jams to get anywhere, the stupid road layouts that don't make sense, the over inflated rates, how stupidly hard it is to buy a house... wait. No it won't be nice. I hate auckland.

Funny, I used to come down to Wellington twice a month for work and hated it.

[Madness]

It's a classy place. Not quite on par with Manurewa mind you.

[nzspokes]

At that time I lived in Henderson, even Clendon is better than that.

[Madness]

Two more shit holes.

Lots of people in a small area? yea, its a city. I've grown up with it so don't notice.
Traffic jams? I have a bike, I filter, no problem.
Stupid layouts? granted its not a gridlike as wellington, but again, grown up with it.
rates/house market? I live with my parents. No problem.

You have your opinion and I respectfully disagree with it.

You live with your parents? How old are you?

Go disagree somewhere else. This is my thread, and I don't care for your opinion.

And I'll be stubbornly single in ten years time

or married ... and still stubborn ...

This is does on bikes with clipons, but on me wee scorpio and other naked bikes, the bars are high enough that this optimum position is achieved with a much more upright position

You know, I never even thought about bikes with regular bars. I've always had clipons.

If that works for you then that's great but I don't agree with giving newbies advice to ride hunched over the tank.

I'm not telling anyone how to do anything. It's just good to have all angles on a problem, before making a decision.

Lol. Its gonna take a pretty impressive person to tie me down. I've given up on the idea of a knight in shining armour. Instead I seem to find retards wrapped in tin foil.

[FJRider]

But true. So very, very true.

It's an even better city ... when you get OUT of it on a bike ...

Mate, now you're talking my language
