In terms of putting a proposal together, this Bike Strategy paper goes into the kind of detail that could really sell a track proposal to a council. http://www.mitchamcouncil.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/mitcham_mtb_draft_aug_05_-_no_appendix.pdf There's some single track near my...

Ditto Gumtree, sometimes you'll get lucky, especially after the unwanted Christmas present season comes...

Ugh, tell me about it. I'm trying to get my son onto his first decent Mtb (he's 6) and the number of Huffys and Kents/Repco/NorthernStar garbage out there is so sad. Occasionally you'll see something where kiddo was on the bong too often and rich dad bought him a ful sus bike to get him out of...

Retro MTBs are the best piggybackers :-)

Ha, I'm joining a thread that's active once every six months! Hoping to do some more riding when my kid goes back to school...

I put the 9 yr old next door on a second hand Trek 26"' (but a ladies/step through) Even though he's short, he was kind of cramped on the 24". So its not a "real" mtb, he can still go on trails without destroying it. And won't knacker himself if he comes off at speed. Like someone else...

We own a Byk 450-e and it is super light for a kids bike, so even a step up to the 560 would maintain the ratio. I say this as a lifelong Giant rider, the BYK bikes are the best around, superb ergonomics, super worth the money. Not too painful to ride. Their resale value is probably better...

Im slightly spoilt on the Negan direction, having wikied the comic plot. (This is probably why they got a fairly well known and likeable actor for the part rather than a relative unknown.) But then tv and comic plots have been known to diverge. I am still here for the hint of a...

Sadly I don't come bearing pictures. My old fully-rigid Giant Iguana has become my go-to bike for pulling trailers/tag-a-longs and following young-uns who are known to stop suddenly in front of me while on a narrow path. Its been a blessing in disguise as I recently upgraded to a full-suss...

I recently got a 2016 Giant Trance Small (I'm 162 cm and stumpy everywhere) My previous ride for far too long was a Giant Iguana old school with a quill stem and super long neck. Even though this bike was tiny, I suffered for years on it before getting bar risers to pull the bar back to...
