Nah but I get the vibe.
i think it was either you or tom who told me scooter made it up bowden spur single speed, i was sceptical that that was even possible. rode down bald spur and beale on saturday as well, pretty chains would be broken trying to climb them.
My partner rode no-handed for the first time today and it was ace.
no hands is the best thing I ever learnt.
Lunch rides. Bit of singletrack, bit of beach, whole lot of blue.

have only recently acquired this, after decades of not. there’s a stretch on my commute where I can go a couple of kay no hands and (and frequently do). especially with a nice taillie.
Love/hate watching muppets ride no handed down Brunswick st with their headphones in right in the door zone. See ya mates.
I rode home last night no handed whilst eating a Maxibon, felt good man.
but fixie you can slow down with your legs.
Almost as good as doing it with a FUIC.
zen like connection with the road.
only acheived with a Maxibon, or GoldenGaytime.
did it shitfaced with a huxtaburger once, down Brunswick st outta the door zone.

CC - I used to ride down royal pde from princes hill to the QVM on a Sunday, often no hands. tried to go the whole way down royal pde no hands once & got buzzed by undercover cops. fkn pricks scared the shit outta me & told me to put my hands on the bars.
My mum has come to stay with me for a week. The other day I came home to find freshly washed and ironed jocks and shirts.
She made me do my own washing and ironing as soon as i went to high school as attempt to get me ready for the real world. Needles to say my jocks have not been ironed or folded for 21 years. Put a smile on my face and took me back to when I was 12.
The first three Wipers records.
hehehehe you never know who’s watching. I just hope I don’t ever get sprung by any of the local kids I’ve taken for Grade 5 bike ed.
Riding no-hands on the rollers for the first time. Also managed to ride one-footed too. Attempted no hands and one-foot and promptly ate shit.
Resigned from my job yesterday, feels good. Although they have told me not to come in after tomorrow- wow okay, 2 week holiday??
I’ve got no hands and one foot down pat. Either foot too. And can clip back in. Keep at it!
Cool man. Exciting. Hope it works out.
