[Noodley]

Come on, Noodley! Are you forgetting/have you forgotten your younger years?

When I was young it WAS cool, now it is just tossy

hmmm - cant see my mom liking tht - practising on the tarmac tht is- but i suspose if i were to loose my balance wearing trainers id have time to put me fot down - wouldn't i??

Yes, which is why its best to learn with trainers. When you start toppling you can put your foot down and try again. Clipless you fall down.
Trainers are much better for the paintwork on your bike

Not quite on my way to play squish on a Brompton I got to a X roads, stopped and was doing a TS and then just pulled away I was there for a minute or so. Now you can not say that is not cool with not putting my feet down or moving the bike more then 3inchs or so.

Not as cool as I would have been, unclipped, having a sip of martini and lighting my pipe....pipe smoking and martini is the way ahead. Rather than teetering like a new born deer.

I could do that, still clipped in, looking cool

Now that's cool but....... I don't smoke a pipe (but my dad dose) ar no Martini is not his thing. If you could find a pipe smoking Martini drinking person on a bike NOW that would be cool

But you don't smoke??? or do you!

Is it ok if i use energy drink and some energy gell instead of that?

I dont, i could use those candy canes though?

 

[Noodley]

no you could not, cos you would not be able to get enough purchase to shake the martini properly if you were still clipped in...any properly cool person knows that. Sheesh, kids nowadays.

Wait and see, all the fakengers will soon be sipping martinis and puffing away on pipes. Then I shall have to move on again...
