A road ride with Dad

There's a first time for everything. I've never tried this before and I'm glad I did. A new respect for road speed and purpose built equipment. This bike weighs 18 lbs and has nearly 100psi in the tires. 18 lbs + 100 psi = you go fast! Go Ride! Song - Pleasure & Business by Phontaine.

thats cool bro, i keep thinking the roads around here would be good on a roadie bike.
free ORGANIC food on the way!
be careful riding on the wrong side of the road though m8

yeah man. The blackberries are plentiful and full of juicy energy! I could have kept munching but my Dad was waiting! Wrong side? haha. Shall I call you "Clarkson"?

ha ha haa! yeah i don't mind being called clarkson, do i get paid the same then?

what's the deal with that guy? is he still doing anything with Top Gear? I heard he was sacked for being inappropriate (big surprise there).

ebikeswillruinmtb (Sep 3, 2015 at 10:50)

i don't watch tv (for years now) but i heard top gear is going to be presented by a new team completely... but i don't know for sure...

nce. I've been a fan of that show for years. Now it's on Netflix and have watched it grow into something pretty huge! Still fun to watch. It'll be interesting to see a new crew. I hear you about the TV. We don't own one but do have a computer.

yeah twas a great show, i watch it 'advert free' on pc, the three of them make me chuckle

Hahaha...I know that feeling of getting on a road bike when your're not used to it. It feels really strange.

conv3rt (Sep 2, 2015 at 0:32)

super weird but I had a blast regardless. Freedom whenever I'm on a bike.

silverfish1974 (Sep 2, 2015 at 0:43)

Looked like a pro at it....

I can see the appeal of this sport. and thanks. we had a fun ride

silverfish1974 (Sep 2, 2015 at 1:11)

Yeah...I wouldn't mind getting something in between like a CX bike with drop bars...I could make use of one of those...

I've been scoping out the Planet X line up and am very attracted to the value there. I wouldn't need much but would be nice to have a nice carbon sled!

Thats cool.. a new perspective gained! Its awesome your dad rides, how bout a cyclocross bike perhaps?

conv3rt (Oct 7, 2015 at 15:07)

Yes to a cyclocross bike. I'm looking around for more money but I like the look of the planet x kaffenback. Looks stellar! And yes, going for rides with my dad is a total gift. He shreds!

Large rotors and drop down handlebars.. a gnarly combo!

conv3rt (Oct 8, 2015 at 16:25)

Honestly I'm thinking a fat bike might be my next buy. So many bikes to choose from but only one body!

buspilot (Oct 8, 2015 at 21:29)

I know..I scored a 20" Trials bike a few months back that I have barely had a chance to ride. We need more life.
