I'm 24 - i wanted to get a bike for ages but the cost (bike, lessons, insurance, gear) and practicality (can't move house 6 times a year on a bike, can't take any old passenger because they need gear etc) have stopped me.

If you're a pretty boy its hard to keep your hair looking that damn good when you have to put a helmet on every morning. Fortunately i'm ugly and work in a factory so if i turn up looking as rough as a badger's nether reigons its not too much of a problem.

I don't think thats entirely true about higher disposable income Ceri, I am 25 and can only just about afford a bike, with no car and no house or anything. Its much more affordable if you are older. Then again, maybe younger people are out and about on their bikes, leaving the oldies on the forums, voting in polls and leaving their sparkling bikes in the garages

Its the way of the world. The cheapest form of transport for me is public. Nothing is cheap anymore. I dont get paid more and more or much at all.

And i'm ugly too

37 next Monday, my waist is still 32 same as when I was 19.

Sadly my IQ is sum of the above.

There's a lot of November babies on here!

What's going on with that? Did all our parents just decide that February was the right time to get frisky?
