When a mate gets a new bike

[Sasquatch]

So what is the correct feeling when one of your mates gets a new bike?

 

Should you

 

a. Feel incensed with jealousy and tipex him out of your address book?

 

b. Feel really happy for him and wish him many happy hours on the new pony

 

c. Go and buy yourself a new one to make yourself feel better?

B.

[DJR]

d. On his first ride, you push like a madman while pretending that you are just having an easy recovery ride......all to make him feel like that new bike is actually a boat anchor!

[CAAD4]

D. Find a new friend that does not make you feel inadequate...

[quintonb]

C, always C... its the perfect reason to buy another bike.

b. Feel really happy for him and wish him many happy hours on the new pony

 

 

& invite him for a ride and beat the hell out of him on your old, outdated bike

[porqui]

Go for a ride with him and enjoy.

 

 

What kind of friend are you if you even ask!!

[DJR]

C, always C... its the perfect reason to buy another bike.

 

You don't need a reason to buy a bike, you just need money!

GO OUT FOR A RIDE AND OWN HIM, AND THEN ASK HIM "HOW MUCH YOU SAY YOU PAID AGAIN"

When we first arrived here in witbank 29ers were a rarity . Then one guy bought one and as it happens with a new bike he was suddenly beating everyone. So over a year everyone bought 29ers and had their turn of being the fastest.

 

Recently someone bought a carbon 29er and so the upgrade war continues.

 

Interestingly enough the strava king of this area was until recently riding a 26er SS with v -brakes

But no use owning him on only one ride.

you have to make sure it happens every ride, even if this means ninja training.

I have ridden with him on many occasions. He is a real live monster on the bike.

I know several riders who can be on shopping trolleys and still make most of us hub experts look like monkeys.
