mmmm, I was eyeing up a genesis when my Trek got nicked at Christmas. Unfortunately the cops recovered my trek.

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I traeted myself to a Felt Q920 hardtail that I managed to get new at trade price while doing some IT work for a well known online bike reseller in the Portsmouth area. Nice bit of kit & I am starting to get back into MTBing again. I figured I would pay more than what I paid for it on a years gym membership, so why not get fit going up hills to get to remote woods instead...

My nice Trek bike got nicked last month.
Did you report it? I wasn't going to but I did in the end. Then it turned up.
Yes, but reporting it was a pointless excercise although, unusually, the police did appear quite intrested at first.
I pop in and buy a bike each time I pass the tip.
At one time I had 26.
Im down to half a dozen again.
One died when I rode it down some steps, another died when the track went round a corner and there was this tree... another died when a lorry drove over it, another got borrowed by my biggest, who left it somewhere, another fell off the quay...
Need to start collecting again.
They usually cost about £5 each.

just sold my claud butler regent touring bike to help fund my new bike thats on order.gotta wait til april for my new kona sutra. its a great feeling loading up the bike and heading off into the wide blue(grey in wales!) yonder.gonna do a big trip to north wales and back this summer on it.
Specialized Rockhopper FS that I bought new in 1998. The only thing I have changed are the tyres which I have put on road ones for getting about the town easier and quicker.
got a Boardman hybrid comp gathering dust in the garage, need to get back on it now the sun has arrived.
TWO weeks ago I bought a Specialised Tricross Comp, its stunning! all I need now is some spare time to ride it!
I also have a '96 Team Marin MTB non stock parts, I did have a GT Zaskar but I sold it to help fund the Tricross.
I love Bikes almost as much as I love knives!

Because my knees are shot and I can't walk with a heavy pack for any real distance these days, I mostly get out and about to woodland and campsites, etc., by bicycle which puts a lot less strain on the old joints. Here is my current ride, a Brodie Elan touring bike on the Sustrans C2C route.
Some nice bikes there. I am getting into Bushcraft Mountain Biking a fair bit at the moment, which is a good laugh. I got a pair of smallish panniers on the back , at 25L for the pair, which is just the right size for an afternoon out in the woods. I can get a tarp, hammock, brew kits & a response pack full of sharps/FAK in, plus a few other bits without it being too heavy. I am getting into following deer trails on it as well, which is fun as they lead you through all sorts of places in the woods.
We should see if we can get us a Bushcraft Biking trip togeather some time this year, if people are interested....

I have a Specialized Crosstrail Sport. It's a hybrid, (or according to one forum I've seen a wannabe 29er), it's not the greatest bike in the world but it does its job nicely. I use it for getting to and from college and have also been out with a local mountain bike group with it and kept up alright. The main aim for it is to get me across Europe next year, so I'm going to be looking into a front rack that will fit suspension forks.
Here it is with my spiked ice tyres.
