Simply post on here a photo which best captures “I Never Go For A Walk Without My Bike”

Only one entry each, and bonus points for bobble hats, pipes or short shorts....

Entries will be open for a few weeks before we pick a winner

My youngfella Fionn on his way back to Stu's from our may Bivi

More junior trudging, Reggie and Isaac earning their downhill:

I'm reasonably sure it's this way lads...

Gosh... since I started biking as a young teenager I've been definately spending more time pushing and carrying the bike rather than riding it.

For me, to classify a 'ride' as a mtb trip, one must have carried and pushed the bike.

Hard to choose. But I've always liked this one.


Trying to demoralise Karl. Guess what. It didn't work.

A few folk might recognise this spot

Ignore this. Sorry. The post it referred to has disappeared but would have probably been in with a good chance of making the finalists (IMO)... whoever the pic was taken by and the stars of the show (the 2 riders walking up a steep rocky incline with amazing scenery behind em)

Sorry but just deleted your last post as it contained a duplicate picture. Trying to get folk to understand the voting procedure will be difficult enough without adding additional complication.

Torino ******* Nice ******* Rally, Col de **** Peas

Is that me behind you still riding ? at least all the others had the good grace to pick ascents and not descents

To be fair you could see nothing- not the path or the ground] and i did crash many many times - the plus side was the bracken was incredibly soft

Loads of cycling pics of me wth puffed out cheeks - ever relapsed i did it till i saw the evidence

Not sure which picture I will enter yet but this thread did inspire to make a quick gallery of the hike-a-bike pictures I have on my blog.

Seemed to be mostly of johnnystorm, mountainbaker and Chicken Legs.

The boy with tongue out in full-effort mode trying to get through knee deep heather.

Managed to pick this up today. Camera was a bit slow to yake the pic whilst he was crossing the road. Theres a pair of these elderly asian chaps around where I live. Last time the thinner of the 2 (the other one) had a petrol lawn mower strapped to his

Iceland and yes there was quite a drop to the right!

I couldn't make my mind up for a while which picture to go for but I decided to go with the aesthetic one rather than the worst looking bit of hike-a-bike one.

Chickenlegs regretting ever suggesting a winter attempt on the HT550

I think that's my favourite so far. ^^^
Great shot Dave.
