    Hi there from Northampton

    I'll keep searching the Billing, and other websites for the 2014 dates!!! Shift worker so have to check if I'm off, or plead to the wife for booking holiday!!! Hopefully son will ride 2nd cruiser, although at 12 he claims it's "too embarassing"!!! (He's not learned taste yet at school!!!)

    There's jerks in the UK too!!! Quite a few years ago I was in a city on my mountainbike. I'd stopped at a set of traffic lights and I'd unclipped from one pedal, but my kerbside foot was still clipped in to my spd's!!! A car, music thumping, stopped next to me!
