Recently purchased, but decided it's too cold outside to cycle
Eh?
CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
"And I get a strange pain in my crotch...."
Did think the same thing when I saw the pic...
Strange excuse for a bike.
My next Gumtree advert could be:
"I'm selling this hardly used upright ladies bicycle because I'm a gullible twat.
You see, we just recently sold our ladies and gents mountain bikes after my wasting £500 on them trying to get my wife to cycle, which she then said she didn't like.
She then had a fad notion that she liked 'proper' upright ladies bicycles, so more the fool me I bought her one, meh"
I haven't actually wasted any good money yet, but the day is soon coming, she has been on my back for weeks now. Perhaps I should just buy one to order - for someone else.
"Brakes are tunes to work rather well!"
That's a bad ad. Not as bad as the ones in Cycling Weekly where top-end road bikes are sold having been bought on a whim by people with more money than sense who have moved on to golf with only a couple of hundred dry miles use, never raced or crashed.
£600 for the pair?
swap for a road bike?
with heaters no doubt
... and a Turbo trainer ;-)
I like how he describes it as a "head-turner". I can only imagine the stage following the headturning is the "point-and-laugh-er"
All very cruel. Perhaps the gum tree person is Spanish and his English is not quite perfect but still good for it being not your first language and also he is feeling very cold a long way from home. With the orange he may be Basque. He also has a lovely wee dog. £200 is a bit pricey
Yeah, I thought instantly "English is not first language" but then is that second ad for the jump bike really the same person? Linguistically totally different, it's a kind of young guy's casual slang.
Very weird.
Re the fixie:
"Give me a bell!"
Sounds like a good swap to me ;-)
