All I want for Christmas ......
All I want for Christmas ......
Is a pair of new inner tubes, some decent lube, any old OS maps that people are giving away, and the telephone number of the rich widow who lives just down my street.
How about you?
How about you?

Re: All I want for Christmas ......
I have a stack of old OS maps if you want them. Enough to almost map out the south west.. I'm married now, so the chances of me ever cycling more than a day's ride away from home is slim* and if I ever did, I'd probably need new os maps anyway because everything's change since 2004 which is when I got most of them...
Get in touch if your interested.
..as for Christmas, the same thing as I wanted last year, for humanity to raise the vibration of their mass consciousness and work towards turning earth into heaven
(*you're not going cycling until you've done the washing up.... and changed the bed... and re-painted the front room..... I don't know why I bothered marrying you.... always got your face glued to that bloody phone.. if you paid half as much attention yo me as you do that pile of bike parts, I'd be a much happier woman... I've got half a mind to call the scrsp man right now....'

My two evri deliveries

Re: All I want for Christmas ......
Evri day, in Evri way, I'm still riding each day if I can.
And I never leave parcels on the doorstep in all this rain, like some couriers do!

You'll need one of these to tow that wagon.

There was one of those at my parents house when they bought it in 1963, we used it as a hen house. Sadly it eventually succumbed to rot and our weather.Morzedec wrote: 9 Dec 2025, 11:37am Evri day, in Evri way, I'm still riding each day if I can.

Re: All I want for Christmas ......
I have a shed, and a garage but they are both full of interesting bike bits.

I can't talk -- my garage is like the back room of a jumble sale right now with bits of motorbikes, cars, tools and the bicycles seem to be breeding.oaklec wrote: 9 Dec 2025, 9:00pm I have a shed, and a garage but they are both full of interesting bike bits.![]()

Re: All I want for Christmas ......
All I want for Christmas is dry days and longer evenings.
I'm loving my new e-bike, but it's too dark/scary to commute in the evenings (unlit, twisty rural roads with lots of flooding combined with modern car lights to blind me and others… Meh!)
Obviously World peace etc etc etc. But I'd sacrifice all that for some good riding conditions.

I am the opposite, I would sacrifice good riding conditions for the rest of my life for a lasting just and peaceful world.
And otherwise, " me two front teef".
