OK so I posted this before, but then the site crashed and it was lost forever. There were only a few posts on it at the time so not so bad.

You are allowed three points to make and they should be bike related. If we exhaust bike opinions then we can move onto other topics that are eating you from the inside out.

I'll start off - here are my three;

* All bike centres to have lift access - going up hills is a bitch
* Those who let theirs dogs shite anywhere, and don't clean up after them, to be used as target practice by RAFChris and his pals
* Summer Olympics to be totally overhauled and brought up to date like the Winter Olympics i.e. inclusion of 4X and DH (This could be a whole other thread me thinks).

keep it clean

Hmmm.

1. All trail centre shops to not price things up over the rrp, better still be cheaper than rrp.
2. On the dig shit lines. Make that one person round and pick all of it up on the trail with there bare hands....I wish.....
3. Make it legal to knock roadies off there bikes when they ride 3 a breast.

1) Open up footpaths to cyclists so we can enjoy more of  the countryside.
2) Remove VAT from all bikes/equipment.
3) Lock all bike thieves up for minimum of 2 years.

That should do for starters.

AS for the dog shit thing LLandegla askes dog owners NOT to pick up and bag there dogs shit.

       1- I would invent a drug to stop PMT for ever.Then you can clean your bike in the kitchen.
       2- Move the peak district and Afan Forest within a mile of my house.
       3- On your 50th birthday you get a free bike to the sum of £5000,and a free meal after every ride.

1. throw the theiving bastard that broke into my house n nicked my ipod touch last nite in jail... for a long time (at least it wasnt my bike)
2.all hills should have dedicated bike runs for the times u wna go fast bt walkers get in ur way
3. subsidised bikes for students..... as an incentive to keep fit


*edit* just noticed the bastard also nicked my camera n diesel aftershave

[andyfreeride]

1. Give myself more time off to ride.
2. Ban any thorned plants near cycle routes. Damn punctures.
3. Give front line soldiers a massive pay rise aswell as free bikes.

1. make the wife see it not just a bike but  some thing of Beauty
2. get the wife  to let me spend more money on biking stuff
3. on line bike shops  to have  not 10% of days but 50% of all weeks  days

1, remove Fuel duty so i can run a gas guzzling V8 4x4 for peanuts up to scotland or anywhere with the bikes in the back.
2, Zero VAT on all bikes and accessories
3, Ban the sale of cheap bikes that claim to be mtb when they are clearly not fit for any purpose

Ok so the main point seems to be that bikes are too expensive. This is very true. My £1700 07 meta I got for £1250. Now to replace it it would cost £2400 without much chance of more than a 10% discount. This is a 40% rise in 3 years!!!!

Due to the pound  and general price increases are bike companies pricing themselves out of reach of you average punter?

answers on a post card

Doh, just spotted the saving on the meta 55 team that SteveB is offering. Good buy if you need a medium
