Yes that one's mine
Well I didn't fall off peddling through 4" mud and I managed to keep up with my son who's got 29 years on me, an achievement in its self
Its a lot easier and more consistent to peddle with the added help the motor gives you

Damn! Look at that gear! You're supposed to be exercising!
Big sprockets and tiny mudguards.
Trust me I need that granny ring, I'm not the lightest of fellas to get up those Cotswold hills.
Great fun going back though
New Ride2Work purchase, although I’ve been working from home for a year now! It’s a Scott Spark RC Team, but as I’m not a SRAM fan I swapped out the gears for XT.
I didn’t want to get it dirty but the calling of a blast out in the Chilterns was too much..

Taken from when i first picked the bike up because you cant leave it outside right
.Year or so onwards and it looks a bit more battered because my ambition is greater than my ability.
Half the reason i brought a T6 was to escape the fenland areas and explore some proper hills
My Boardman Pro Mtb......using it to ride to work on a mix of road, tracks and bridlepaths. 10yr old now but solid frame and components
So I collected my new eMTB on Wednesday - and let my lad have a go. Haven't seen it since!! 
Having let him roll down our hill and carefully turn round at the bottom on his dad's new pride and joy, the look on his face as he began to pedal was a picture! As soon as he started to push, the assistance kicked in and he flew back up the hill with a look of excitement combined with bemusement! 'What is this sorcery' he said, before turning round and doing it again. I'm looking forward to a trip out this weekend!

Allmtn 7 (de-restricted of course)cant believe I missed this thread till now........this is my real passion. Mine is the black/green PLUS some cobbles for fun
I picked up this little beauty over the weekend. I've not been on a bike for a long time and thought it was about time to get back into it!
I went with a hardtail as this is more bike than I'll ever need! Just need to find a wide squishy saddle for my lardy ass as the current one is like sitting on a spike!

Taken back in February when it was a bit chilly, riding across a frozen Loch an Eilean near Aviemore. As one of my mates said, I should have logged a bit as a Strava segment as no one would be able to take the KOM off me
I’ve got a Thule Velospace XT which works fine on an XL DH bike; sticks out like you say but plenty long enough and straps down very solidly

Nice..very similar to mine on an earlier post....Evans cycles do a squishy saddle for about a tenner.. had it on 4 months or so and seems fine for what I do.
