That's no fun.

More interested in the solar panel rack?

The near tray are Paprika+Cheddar scones and the far tray are Red Leicester scones...will mix them up and play scone roulette.

It's not all blue tho as the fork is black, to the untrained eye it can look like a bike that's just blue and only blue but it is much more than that.

I've done the same with balance bikes at that age, a 1hr "lesson" that is a 2min talk on the most basic of ground rules followed by a series of races/challenges that each encourage a skill to develop and then a 2min talk at the end to ask what they found fun and just remind/tell them what they have learned by rewording how we describe the games.

1 - "long jump" balance over bike, run upto a line and see who goes the furthest, developes balance
2 - "grandmothers footsteps" that game where you turn around they need to sneak up behind you then you turn back and they freeze/stop, practice braking.
3 - "stop on the line" ride along then using the brake try and stop with the front wheel on a line, teaches about improves accuracy when braking
4 - "relay races" mix it up a bit ride across playground stop+dismount, hop/skip/run/jump/whatever back, encourages them to ride more and improve mounting/dismounting
5 - "assault course" a small circuit usually with some cones to slalom around and a little down hill, improves control

A million and one ways to cheat the games and ensure everyone feels they are winning for maximum participation, do the races as teams so even the slowest gets to be on the winning team or just judge on "style" and award to whoever.

Didn't "teach" them anything, just playing games, have had that as both a compliment and then as a criticism from bemused teachers who quietly said sorry when they understood the planning behind the games.

This stuff can be really interesting, I did 3/4 of an nvq in playwork before the people hosting the course went bust, gave me a great insight into using structured play as a learning tool and support for other learning. People have a much higher rate of participation in an activity they perceive as fun and are far more responsive and engaged when that delicate balance of strucutred learning and fun is achived.

A bicycle, more specifically a blue bicycle.

I love that he has full motorcycle gear on for what is essentially less than jogging.

Handbrake turn?

I cycled that way for work daily for 2 months when I was doing stuff out in Greenwich, the thames path chucks you out there as the college/uni won't let people cycle across grounds.

RIP rider.

Isn't the problem with these that when you do eventually change to another set from another brand the colours are wrong and you forever reach for the wrong ones?

I have this set in my everyday carry. Seem to be made well.

This thread is going to drone on and on isn't it...

I'd think about where you want to fly it first. Lots of places are off limits like sports venues, landmarks, anything police/army related. Within inner London it's near impossible not to mention if you land it near a road someone could drive over it. I think if you went down near the coast and found a bit that wasn't alongside an army barracks or nuclear facility then you should be able to fly it without much issue(?).

#splendid night out

Made some quiche and really happy with how it came out.

In what way?

If you drop the knife for some reason or knock one of the others off as you take the knife you want out the blades don't have to fall past your wrist/hand.

Ah, hope it looked impressive.

Thanks again for the steak, you have no idea how much I enjoy steaks @_Leon can explain.

Agree it's worse someone pinched the chair.

Typical attitude of symmetrical shoe wearing folk.

Big in china...

Can whoever shouted do a skid on the tweed run as I was bombing past own up. Ended up with a flat patch...

Thanks @itsbruce and all.

Had an amazing day, I'll be more prepared next year so have more than 2 days to find something to wear.

My friend Maeve did make it home ok after the puncture.

You could just strip it back and have a flatbed style trailer with a handle for wheeling when off the bike.
