    Yeah and it snowed every Christmas, you could leave your back door open and half a crown would get you a cinema ticket, a bag of chips and the bus fare home........

    I like it. It has just the right modifications needed to encourage me to get into mountain biking...

    Seriously though - if it were allowed on bridleways I might consider it - but that's never going to happen - so no advantage over having a push bike & a scrambler...

    They wouldn't be legal in the UK without road tax, insurance, helmet and a licence. I suspect anyone who has a licence anyway is not going to buy one of those over a normal bike!

    Cliches maybe but the bit that I posted was what I did with my childhood, I now have to drag my son away from his computer at the weekends and I can see daily plenty more fat kids around - I stand by what I said as it's from experience and observation.

    I repeat " Yep all cliches but it doesn't stop them being true. " You'll find if you read back through the posts I was actually agreeing with you !!!
