DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

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.

Positive time wasting

If you have something more important to be doing but would rather not then I can heartily recommend the email exchanges here

'Justin's Floodlight' and 'obvious foggot' amused me particularly, but then they would.

Thanks Tony,

This is quality stuff. I've seen "Missing Missy" doing the rounds before and it does raise a smile.

Do you think that David Thorne and Dominic Bowles are the same person? You never see them in the same room together....

I've never seen 27bslash6 before. Awesome! I like the 'Free Burton Snowboard' - the shop does actually appear to exist.

This is on the BBC website today - another triumph for internet foolery!
