[Sir Tigger KC]

Nothing like a bit of dark humour to cheer you up Ron!   

[Bigron]

Welcome to the Dark Side, Luke Sir Tig.....

Ron.

[Rods2]

We are not kicking you when down, all the bicycle riders on OOF are very happy that you've seen the light and joining us as a fellow cyclist, welcome to the bright side. If you have any questions before going to buy your bike and Lycra then I will do my best to answer them and where that serious cyclist Guffer is always helpful I'm sure he will help as well.

Maybe we ought to write an OOF guide to cycling - Choosing a new bike, clothing, lights and other safety gear. Have you thought about what sort of bike you want yet and set a budget?

Plenty of bikes to choose from here.

I've already got a bike, burien id its various bits in my garage - a 1952 Sunbeam S8 - which mdeffo does not require me to wear lycra; just a flat cap and pac-a-mac.
It will see all cyclists off the road in a cloud of leaded-petrol fumes.....

A real motorbike. With no Omega to fettle and fix every weekend, this looks like an ideal substitute.

[Bigron]

Yes, as posted elsewhere my screenwash has failed completely, and so will the car on Monday. 

Ron.

[Rods2]

A bit of Russian ingenuity with a washing up liquid bottle, a litter pickup stick and some gaffer tape and you will be fine.

Here is one that was done earlier to fix the windscreen wipers.

You will pleased to know Ron lad that i went for a quick ride on my new bike, got a fricken puncture, had to bloody well walk home.

[Bigron]

No, I'n not pleased to know; a puncture on a bike is no laughing matter.
No harm done to you, I hope?
Bikes are easier to push than Omegas! 

Ron.

Yes, thank God.

I've postponed my MOT appointment for another week until I can get the screenwash to work - no point in taking it to the test centre, knowing that it is bound to fail.

Get some Kevlar reinforced puncture resistance tyres and you will then very rarely have a puncture.
