Just tell her to man up and grow some balls. Damn hippies.

And Rod I'm the same. I was in a coma thanks to riding and I still ride now!

Incomprehensible really, considering he adores mountain biking and almost killed himself on one 18 months ago on the road (then got himself a bigger chainring to go faster :D ).



When it comes to Push bikes, If you Don't hurt yourself your not going fast enough!!

So far i've Broken my cheek bone in 3 places,2 ribs,Cracked my Sternum, Bruised my Heart, Yes i still ride a bike!

go buy a old metro

then she will feel safer with you in the mini


My mum used to have one of those, it was awful :D the mini feels sooooo much more stable and safe


Safer? The Metro/Rover 100 (an old 1980's design) scored only 1 star out of 5 in 1997 for the Euro NCAP test which finally killed off its sales and production was ended soon after.................................video below

I think she is great. Just think about how lucky you are.

You have someone to spring for a roll cage, racing seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher, big brakes, and wide tires.

The top of that looks like one of those hats chinese soldiers used to wear.

What happened to that out of interest? So I may avoid it, haha.
