how much room do you need?why is it that when your out biking on trails and you come across walkers that you can never get passed them.i have a trail bell on my bike which id always ring in advance of approaching someone,but they still think they need all the path.i am always polite to walkers/bikers alike saying hello or slowing down on passing.i just wish some people would be polite in return,you never know when you may need someones help.after all good manners are free and smiling exercises more muscles than you realize.

TIME TO GET THE BIKE OUT.i have been riding on differant off road routes arond edale,ladybower and hope in the last few weeks.i cannot work out why we ardly see many bikers or none at all.this is the time to get out n ride before the trails get really busy later in the year.if you think its still a little too cold for you just wear extra layers, you can always take somat off once youve worked up a bit.so come on everyone after all a bike is for all year not just for summer.just get out n ride

BIKE SHOPS.there are 5 bike shops in sheffield with 2 being at hillsborough and 3 nr city centre.these are langsett cycles ,butterworths,je james,edinbrough bike shop and the bike tree being the latest.i have been to all these and have dislikes of most of em..Butterworths (too small) langsett (never have stock) je james (staff think they are better than you) Edinbrough bike shop (too dear) and bike tree (good shop but wrong side of city for me).most of these seem to be on the compettetive cyclists side instead of the average cyclist which in my opinion is a wider field.they say JUST GET OUT N RIDE but i think they would have more customers if there prices were lower for everyday buyers like most of us out there.just a thought

a message for blue eagle about mountain biking.i have riden above hope,edale and ladybower before many times on these off road routes.i prefer offroad as i ride around 100 miles a wk to work mainly on roads and trails and thats enough.been to wales twice,cannock and dalby before and wk ends are best for me.contact my email direct and il reply to u cheers
