yes it's funny how the mist of time clouds the reality,if you really think back to those times when a bike was your only transport and used everyday in all weathers for work,shops [with a big foc off rucksack on your back] breakdowns,punctures,etc. was it that carefree? I enjoy biking much more now that I don't HAVE to go out in all weathers but you can never replace those memories and the GOOD times ay? :woot
never look down on anyone unless you're helping them up.
