    Bought another bike so I can fit some fun into an otherwise boringly functional life before I'm too old to remember what fun is.
    That is both profound and kinda sand.

    i've always liked bikes since childhood, me'n'the missus bought a house further away from my workplace so, naturally a bike seemed to be the only logical choice of transport . Beats sittin in traffic cues. But i me thinx the feeling of freedom's gotta be the winner

    My parents made me ride a motorbike. It wasn't 'till years later I found out about the large LIFE insurance policy they took out on me.
