Just an observation, but I get annoyed when I see some moron in the middle of the day usually dressed in a tracksuit and cap, riding a bike that clearly doesn't belong to them.

You know the sort; Chavvy, goatee beard, gold earing and half sovereign, riding a bike 2 frame sizes too small with no cross bar. To add, he was probably smoking a Lambert and wearing £100 Nike Air Max from Footlocker.

I'm not necessarily saying they've nicked them, but such a vehicle is usually piloted by scum of the highest order!

Well that's fine, as long as you dump it outside the chippy door in the way of a frail old man whilst you order your 'sausage dinner' and 'spam fritter and chips, wi beans'!

My bicycle has a "ladies' frame". I paid £3 for it. It works. Why should I care what shape the frame is?

Think a BMX is slightly different.

SUrely that is like saying when do you have to give up any sport.

You've probably seen me then. I ride in a tracksuit because jeans would be stupid and if it is raining or sunny I wear a hat to keep stuff off my baldy head.

I asked an attempted shoplifter to leave my shop, he commented how pathetic my job was etc on the way out, how I should have better things to do and generally lorded it up, then upon getting out of the door he climbed onto a kids mountain bike, one of those really crap £50 apollo jobbies with tiny wheels and pedaled off into the evenings torrential rain. I had a chuckle to myself and with any luck he got hit by a truck as he had no lights on the bike obviously.

You shouldn't care. But then I don't expect you show the other aforementioned characteristics that the 'star' of this post shows do you?

I think the bikes that are being referred to (in the main) are "customised" "Bratz" bikes.

"Retro" chrome thing with the stupid purple stickers removed to disguise the fact it is a stty girl mobile.

Buy a proper fking bike you cockspanners.

Made me laugh that this actually takes place, particularly as a big fan of Nathan Barley
