Only a handful of mountain roads are steeper than 1 in 10 so not to bad for touring. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11790#post-136330 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 16:41:29 +0000 SRD 136330@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>guy I was in kindergarten with, and who i've not even laid eyes on since the mid-80s, but who FB has revealed to be a keen cyclist sent me this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhabgvIIXik" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhabgvIIXik</a> </p> <p>Published on 10 Dec 2013<br /> Road Bike Party 2 is here! Martyn Ashton and two very special guests take you on a new journey with a new bike in RBP 2.<br /> Follow GCN on YouTube: <a href="http://gcn.eu/gcnsubs" rel="nofollow">http://gcn.eu/gcnsubs</a></p> <p>Incredible stunts and amazing tricks all completed on a £15,000 Colnago C59 Italia? It can only be a Road Bike Party! Lycra-clad trials legend Martyn Ashton's first Road Bike Party was a YouTube sensation, so a sequel HAD to be made, bigger and better than before! Martyn was in the middle of filming when his life was transformed by an accident during a trials display which has left him paralysed from the waist down. Courage, determination and great friends have helped Martyn to complete his vision for what a Road Bike Party is.</p> <p>Road Bike Party 2 features special guest appearances from two trials riding and YouTube legends, and music from Catfish and the Bottlemen with "Rango" (<a href="http://gcn.eu/1gVfrB5" rel="nofollow">http://gcn.eu/1gVfrB5</a>) and Capella.</p> <p>In the words of Mr Ashton, "Party on"!</p> <p>No bikes were harmed in the making of this film. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11790#post-135924 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 17:07:03 +0000 minus six 135924@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>mental geezer, he didn't even wait for a dry day</p> <p>i was up that same road on a bus, two summers ago </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11790#post-135923 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 16:53:16 +0000 gibbo 135923@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Those crazy Scandis, you've got to love them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11790#post-135794 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:57:41 +0000 Slug 135794@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ha!
