    50 years of biking

    Seems to me I have had a bike licence for 50 years this month. After getting pinged for not having one...

    If I'd known I was gunna live this long I might have taken more care...probably not though.

    OK - My apologies. I may have met one or two non-fukwit types

    I do try and treat all posters with respect. Occasionally I fail, but it's the thought that counts.

    I will certainly be giving 'Mr Cassina' more respect, and time, in light of his advancing years

    He/She still hasn't answered whether he/she is male/female so no surprise
