Do wear a lot of Lycra by chance?

I wear a lot of lycra, but it's always intentional.

I try to only wear 1 item at a time as you don't need to wear a lot.

But as it happens I've owned BMX's, monty trials bikes, 24" cruisers, 26" jump bikes, currently own an XC bike and CX bike so swap between baggies and Lycra.

Nope use to have a chrome mongoose, sold it in approx 1995 to a friend who used it to commute round Coventry so imagine it probably got nicked. Local youth seem quite into flatland bmx round here, did have a go on one a week or so ago and found it rather hard to ride with no brakes whatsoever and coaster hub so no pedal engagement for half a turn, damn weird.

I have a flybikes pantera 2 slowly gathering dust in the garage.

BMX is fun but I am better and have more fun on my mountain bikes

[RustyVR6]

I can't seem to get into mountain biking, I've got one but it just gets used for work, I have gone out to some local woods on it but it just isn't as enjoyable to me as riding the BMX.

To me, there is no other reason or purpose to get on a bike than enjoyment. Mine is derrived from mtb a bit of 'general' mtb and also some DH - but I can appreciate how and why others might enjoy BMX or road cycling.

I've not thrown a leg over a BMX since my trusty old Redline in early teenage years, but quite a few old (now middle-aged) BMX/school friends are now building 'dream' BMXs and they look great. Especially one Daz-white Skyway TA.

I intend to have another Skyway at some point. Originals seems to have gone Porsche 911-prices, but a re-issue will suffice.
