The next step....

[Treadtrader]

Bit the bullet and bought one, pedalling made so easy.

I like the mudguards, are they any good?

I'm just getting back into mountain bikes. I went out for a 10 mile taster down the canal and came back totally caked in mud which I didn't really appreciate

I've only had the bike a few days and not had chance to take it in the muddy stuff, I'll keep you posted.

I think the idea is that you ride along the towpath!

Meanwhile I'm dusting down my MTB - or BTT as they say here!

Towpaths are for wimps

Agree but they are a useful way to avoid roads and good when you have kids in tow.

This is not a towpath!

Simon was making a "joke" there

I love towpaths

For the days you have no kids and want to go on a far away trail but still want to ride your motorcycle

Possible future of the trails best of both worlds
