You promised those selfies I sent were our secret. This is a betrayal of trust. I have learnt a lesson about trusting people on the interwebs!This guys got the right idea...

None taken. It wasn't the most serious of statements I made, given this isn't the most serious thread. It certainly wasn't meant to offend roadies. As I said, I'm just not a fan of the concept of going out to ride 10's/100's of kilometers on paved roads shared with cars for fun/exercise. But I totally understand that for a lot of people this is the most awesome thing ever. For me I'd rather drive along roads, and ride along MTB trails*. That's all. Prob could have worded it better. My point was - I love watching the TDF, despite disliking a lot of things about the sport**.
(* I have zero problem with cyclists being on the roads I'm driving on - if that was what you may have thought. But I know a lot of idiots do have a problem with it.)
(** RE: Lycra - I hate the feel of it against my skin. It's just a personal thing. If I had zero body hair, it'd prob feel better. But I'm a hairy bastard, and will never, ever be arsed getting rid of it.)

Speaking for yourself there. This is a very serious thread for some!

Fair enough! I'm not a fan of riding in city traffic (not that I have the need to anymore) but do probably 80% of my riding on the road simply because it's more accessible; if a wider variety of trails were within riding distance (as opposed to having to load the bike in the car) I'd certainly hit the dirt more often so in that sense I guess it's a time thing - add up the time used to load the car up, drive to trails and return (not including actual ride time) and there's a minimum 40km road ride.
As for the lycra, shave down and hit the knicks just once, as a sort of experiment ;-)

Haha, perhaps later. When I have done my duty.
Thanks for the offer, although the missus went out and ordered some 3 wheeled thing that doubles as a stroller when the kid gets older. It does fold up pretty good and is light for her. Better bloody last too, I'm going to get her to pump out a few more to get my money's worth!
Yeah the relos will probably chuck in a few $$, we have already asked them not to buy cartons of useless stuff.Before our daughter was born I just out in a call to the relo's to not give us heaps of pointless small gifts and chuck some money into a pot for a decent pram. We paid $1600 for a brand new bugaboo donkey, came with a bonus maxi cosi car capsule that detaches from the car and plugs straight into the pram base. No waking the baby getting her in and out of the car. Pram came with 2 carriers. A bassinet type cradle and a stroller style so will do until she is much bigger. It can carry 32 kilos of gear under it. The tyres a foam core so never get flats and the steering on the thing is incredible, turns on a dime. We take it on firetrails and to the beach and it goes through anything no worries. Weighs 12kg but fold flat, although it does take up more room than an umbrella type stroller.
Came with a rain cover, adjusts to suit any persons height, can be used forward or rear facing.... And comes in some sweet colours. No phone holder though but can carry a chai latte.
Best money I didn't earn but spent yet.... Well I did put in half. But if you work out buying a car seat etc and having a pram from newborn on it's pretty bloody good.
The most the missus will do with this is walk down the road to the Brisbane River, or up the shops. Not exactly strenuous terrain.
Met up with a mate the other day and he brought his new born kid, and he was smashing it over footpaths and bumps. Kid never woke up. I was surprised actually.I got the whole offroad tyre thing too - apparently knobbly tyres will provide better grip.... not sure how that is the case for something that just rolls and tends not to corner too fast (a loud shrieking sound is emitted when I corner quickly, but I think it is just the wife
I do recommend bigger wheels though, have mid sized wheels with a newborn and find even on footpaths and gravel paths the bumping is significant for the little one.

Yeah, for the first couple of months they're pretty much a potato. Doesn't last.

Gumtree. Seems to be the hang out space for shit bags.

Hell, Duh.....
I bought a bike off there...but before I did, I asked his address and compared the house in the background of the bike pics to the house on google maps. All matched, so i took the risk.

BIG night of Brazilian BBQ last night....I ate about a years worth of meat, that was awesome. Got up this morning and figured I should hit up a high fibre breakfast (rolled oats, chia seeds, LSA mix) to prevent the meat staying longer than needed, that was awesome. Just sat down in a café for a coffee and some web time...little thing I hate = needing to shit as soon as I place an order and find a table.

You sound like just the sort of dodgy fuck i'd rather avoid on gumtree :tsk:
LTIH - how my youngest child *always* needs to go for a long, slow shit either just as the food is about to arrive or after it has just been placed on the table (at a restaurant).
