I went up there a couple of weeks ago, you might also want to take a machete the wet spring has led to gret growth of everything. Especially fennel and thistles. Thistles are not fun to hit, the thorns penetrate full finger gloves and the flower heads really hurt if hit at speed. The 4wd...

This is what I just go my little fella for xmas: http://www.cellbikes.com.au/12-Cheetah-Alloy-First-Learner-Balance-Bike When it was on sale last week. It seemed to have the lowest stand over I have seen, and from trying him quickly on it before going to the shed till xmas, just needs a...

Have they also changed the design of the stcker? Have a 7/11 Melbourne special for the hire bike in front of me, and the approvals sticker seems to be a normal paper one, not the foil/tamper proof type. I know with the foil type if removed the sticker is destroyed, wonder about these? could...

How often doe sthis debate come up? The simple answer is use an ANZSA approved helmet, which should be any bought locally in OZ. Be careful with NZ, even though it is an Australian/New Zealand standard, the same sticker rule does not apply to those sold in NZ. Check out the Bell swepp...

Don't Australian Standards require continuous batch testing? This would give you reassurance that the manufacturer has had to keep the standard of manufacture up to the correct level at all times. Another thing to consider is Insurance, and things such as TAC (in Victoria) if in an accident...

I'm thinking the chainring is another giveway, and a geared uni?

What kind of helmets do your kids use? We have been trying a RJ's helmet (the dinosaur) with our 14 month old, but having problems with it falling over his face, even with it tightened up. A temporary solution was to have a cap under the helmet, but this is not great. Also the adjust parts...

That is cool. Now just have to wait for the little one to get older, think one is a bit young to get his first balance bike. Prob should wait till he can stand and walk at least. Does anyone know what kind the little dude is riding? Looks to have a bit of suspension on the back too.

Wow...can you show me the hill where you got to 215 mp/h!

Why keep going on about writing to the local council, when everyone here has said that it is Parks Victoria. It is like writing to QANTAS and what happened on a Virgin Blue flight, wrong people, gets filed in the 'tell someone who cares file'. If you are this keen, then get advice, I know you...

I have just got a X2, pick up this weekend, and there are a few more up grades than just the rear shock, have a look at the Giant website for a direct comparison. Also Giant have put most of their bikes on sale at the moment, so shouldn't pay more than $2400 for the X2, I think the X3 is runnig...

Might have been quicker to list the parts that haven't been changed out.

I hate thread like these. Just reminds me that 10 years ago just as I was getting into MTB, had a job in NZ driving tourists. On average I would be in Rotorua at least 1 night a week, with enough time to ride out to the trails and be be back in time for dinner. Or if lucky a compulsory day off...

I have mine mounted backwards, Impreza wagon (before they went to the stupid hatch), it is because of the spoiler on the tail gate. Have no problems with it, why does the bike have to travel in the same dirction as the car? I don't think it would mind. I also think it is not bad for protecting...

Lygon Cycles have an '09 Trance X2 in 20 inch. Not quite what you are after, but the price is good. Had $2600 on it, crossed out ask for price. Caould be worth getting and upgrading with the savings.

From that picninc table, if you head towards the river but keep following it towards the city (downstream, river on right). You will get to the south end of the park. There is a wire rope fence? and you can see a rough track past the end of the fence, go over that and then keep close to the...

We hired some XC bikes from them a couple of years ago, and found they were great for that. Drove us to where we wanted to start from and went from there. I think they also do stuff out to Coronet Peak might be an alternative to the Gondola, but not through trees like the gondola run is ( had...

Initially what she said was funny, to the people she was aiming to amuse. But then she kept coming back and back and back, then the other one joined in....hey if she got a laugh from it then so can I...and the audience is expected/encouraged to laugh at everything that is said on the show...

That like watching the videos from http://www.mountainbikebill.com/videos.htm Make you wish you knew where these types of places are near you.

Love the Fat Cyclist, great read almost everyday...and inspiring too.
