Nice pics mate, I'm a cycling fan myself. My biggest trip was around 80km, took me 3 hours, stopped once to eat. Terrain here is not very level so I didn't get much chances to get over 30km/h.

I have some pictures of me cycling, took them on a trip, 10 minutes before my front tire going flat, 15 km away from home....FFFFFUUUUU

Mobile phone pics.

Yeah, wish we had sea here. Not that I like swimming in the sea (hate the salt on my lovely muscles), but cycling would be even better. :D

I'll post some pics of my whip tomorrow. :nods:

Patch my biggest trip was 345 kms :) Mostly hills and downhils so once i have driven about 70 km/h *scaaaaaary*. Nice pictures!

iLLGT3? there is always some terrain to find :) Even if it's hills you can do mountain cycling (my favourite).

206 fan Thanks I love my bicycle :) Put some photos of your's aswell :)

Apu Can't wait for your photos :)

345km, nice mate :)

My topspeed was around 62km/h with my bicycle, not the speedy kind of guy, although I felt like doing my best on that little downhill stretch, managed to get up to 62km/h

Emir13 · March 31, 2013

btw tomorrow (maybe) some new photos... if not tomorrow then surely next week :)

patch : yeah this bike is bit modified to get big speed, i bought nice tires to get good speed and it is good for sand aswell for asphalt ! and where i was going my top speed is area without cars :) safety first :D

And always doing big distances with friends! It would be scary to brake something and not know what to do xD

Meh, you're girls. :p My dad's maximum speed on an MTB bike was about 91 km/h. And he doesn't wear a helmet.

But I'm not proud of him, better slap him in the face for that.

Emir13 · March 31, 2013

Lol dude :D I never wear helmet... Because I don't have proper one (my head is huge haha just kidding :) )

TIMELESS · March 31, 2013

Having been hospitalised as a kid from a cycling accident, you're a moron if you don't wear a helmet.

Emir13 · March 31, 2013

Dude read it : JUST KIDDING !

TIMELESS · March 31, 2013

Dude read it : JUST KIDDING !

Wasn't talking about you specifically.

Emir13 · March 31, 2013

Your argument is right, every1 is moron if doesn't wear helmet ;)

Don't think I've ever cycled since getting my car license...

Meh, you're girls. :p My dad's maximum speed on an MTB bike was about 91 km/h. And he doesn't wear a helmet.

But I'm not proud of him, better slap him in the face for that.

:hi5: My bike is also a MTB :) I don't really speed much, I do however like to pick up some speed sometimes. Since I don't wear a helmet I don't feel really safe going over 40km/h, unless the road has no cars / crossings, as I've had some scares with cars not obeying STOP signs and crossing right in front of me.

I should really wear a helmet and I'm not proud of not wearing one, however, not even with a helmet I'd let myself reach 91km/h, unless on a closed circuit.

Also Ryzza, I can understand your motives :P However cycling is one of my passions, we could create a little Show your cycling videos thread ahah?

That could motivate some people to get their legs working :p

Never used a helmet on a bicycle.

The Compensator · April 1, 2013

Milli you think you're boss that you don't wear a helmet? :fp:

hassan1995 · April 1, 2013

Never used a helmet on a bicycle.

Explains some things :cheeky:

Fear Deer · April 1, 2013

@ apu A lot of people do so, untill they hurt themselves bad. Hope that doesn't happen to anyone, as I don't wear a helmet either, although I'm getting one soon.

big 206 fan · April 1, 2013

is this thread about bicycle racing,or simply cycling with friend for fun and enjoying?!?!

First of all it is quite ridiculous to talk about high speed because everybody doing it going down the hill!...if you do that of course you need helmet and all safety gear!And if you drive in heavy traffic with speeding cars of course you need all that!

But if you cycling for fun, enjoying in nature ets with average speed of 20km/h as I do most time for example,than helmet is not required...people with helmet doing 10 km/h are just ridiculous.

It is not like driving a car with or without safety belt or riding a motorbike...this is just recreative vehicle,so please get back to pics of your ride and places you go...

brw,if anybody is interested,my top speed was 60+/-,I don't remember very well because it was 10 years ago and my bicycle was new...

Nowadays it is more important to me to get safe to my destination,because I driving mostly across city and city picnic places....

average,I go about 40-50km,top range was about 80km...

can't wait for better weather to drive my bike because it is rainy at my home city and that make me mad:D

Prophecy · April 1, 2013

You guys mean 'being a nuisance to traffic by believing you dont have to follow the road rules and cant stick to the cycling lanes' right? Rather than 'cycling'?

I'm kidding, mostly :P I have never been into proper cycling, not a fan of bikes with gears, I used to love riding my bmx bike around though- never any real distance, and not freestyle bmx or anything, just riding on the streets etc. Been wanting to get back into it since I lost my drivers license earlier this year, but lack of funds has kept me from buying one.
