    Why do I ride?

    Same reason I drive a car - cos it's bloody boring just looking at the thing, and both vehicles are bloody hard to push.

    I ride cause golf is for fags and its difficult to pull wheelies in my car. Not to mention the funny looks I get driving along the motorway wearing a helmet.

    Seriously my commute is 35 minutes on the bike and an hour and a bit in the cage City to Upper Hutt. Also its funnier to ride through a camp ground naked than to run.
