Aha mr frosties........but statistically you are more likely to have an off close to home whilst stoogying about....id agree with that.......all the times I've been on a decent, long rideout i haven't felt in the slightest danger....after 50 miles i feel nice & relaxed & more capable..,the tyres are warm & the brakes are working a treat......i am concentrating harder too whilst pushing on.
The local bimble argument is worthy in the sense of it is easy to just chuck stuff on like jeans but not on the protection stakes....unless you only do 20mph
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
