Went for a casual ride with the family after work. Trailer pulling my daughter unfortunately didn't have the ground clearance through the creek so she got pretty wet, much to her delight 
.
Finished off with some laps of the pump track before heading home

Green but certainly not quiet. Like a swarm of angry bees is the best description.

It's Not Easy Being Green
Quiet, but not quite silent. I think you'd struggle to hear anything from it on the trail though...
That's the G2 hub with the magnetic pawls. I went for the quiet version...

Kona 20" Shred. Yong fella is turning 8 next year so I'm thinking I'll step him straight up to an xs 26" bike rather than buy another kids bike.

Fantastic to get out with your kids. Best thing ever. BTW, someone’s barracking for the right side. Just needs 29 or 4 now on the jumper.

After work tonight I put my Cotic back together with a freshly renovated rear wheel, thanks to the Meister of Duck.
Urbaned on it to my local fave trails, for some serene twilight single-track.
On the way back I had to focus like billyo as the ball of bright gas had slipped below the horizon and darkness was becoming upon me.

I love that you’ve gone 29. Suits your 5 foot/90kg image.This arrived today. Promptly put it together.
Think it's a 2014, but has a good build.

Got talked into doing a road bike ride today in the mountains. We got to the furthest point from the car when I got a flat. Tried a co2 but it was still going down (tubeless). So I pulled it off and went to chuck in a tube. Didn't pack a tube with a long enough valve to get my remaining co2 on. Reinstalled the timeless valve and went to use co2, turned out to be a dud. Reminded me to always bring a hand pump.
Did the "fuck it" thing and decided to climb for 10kms on a flat rear, it's only a tyre and a cheapish rim. Got to the top and thought, it's only a 10km descent and it's still in tact. By this stage I'd abandoned seeing another cyclist to get me out of trouble. So down I went. It wasn't too crazy unless the tyre slid to far to the side and then rim on bitumen is like a rear steering bike, very not fun. But got down and back to the car in one piece.
Got home and pulled off the completely destroyed tyre, put the rim back on the frame and no shit, it's still as straight as an arrow. A bit of rash on the lip in sections but no buckles or dings.
Gotta be the stupidest thing I've ever done.

Checked Strava and I hit 48km/h at one point on the descent
. Averaged 30km/h over the duration. My wife got told a very different story...
Should have endo'd all the way down.
