SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Adding a photo or video to your post

To add a photo / video, the photo / video must be somewhere on the internet so you can copy its address. If it is on your phone you will need to upload it to an online photo / video site like http://photobucket.com or www.youtube.com

Once you have copied the link to the photo / video then if you look above the edit window (where you type the content of your post) you will see a link to something called "bb code" if you click on this it tells you what to type before and after the address of the photo / video.
