personally i wish someone would fix the damn pavements, and then stop barmy cyclists from riding on them...

[ichkeria]

Yes, I think so

[Mamyalynne]

I've dug my little Triang trike out - it needs a paint job though.

[emmie]

i guess it is, but those same one hit wonders, who only cycle in the warmer kinder weather, will know what hits them once winter strikes a chord. Personally i wouldn't cycle again, too many loons on the road, many of whom ride bikes.

[emmie]

I had one of those Mamy, green with three wheels and a boot to match, fun days.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh yes, always something good in the boot, I got in bother for taking my Rabbit for a run once - she didn't appreciate the cobbles.

[emmie]

ha ha, i'll bet

[emmie]

but is this a good thing after all its going to come under the NHS, so is that wise...

[Mamyalynne]

It is good, I know a few who greatly benefited from the Gym voucher scheme started years ago.

[emmie]

surely this is yet another tax for the average punter.

[Old_Geezer]

Any scheme that encourages folk to go out on the death traps and clog up the highways is an absolutely appalling idea. Any minister suggesting it needs their head examined.

[emmie]

it's been mooted so it will come into being i guess.

[Spicerack]

I want the money instead.

[emmie]

50 quid?

[emmie]

i don't think that is the idea spicy

[youngmafbog]

I see a lot of non existent bikes being fixed!

Its a load of cobblers.

[youngmafbog]

"Oh yes, always something good in the boot, I got in bother for taking my Rabbit for a run once"

Hmmm, perhaps rephrase that?

[Mamyalynne]

She was a rabbit and we went for a run, she's dead now - a cat killed her.

[youngmafbog]

Ah, that kind of rabbit.

[Mamyalynne]

We have no need of the other kind in t'North, as I said, we have cobbles.
