Haha haven't heard the word treadly in years. The Deadly Treadly.
I don't mind getting the bike out every once in a while. Feels weird riding a small bike after years of cycling though.

probably a bit off topic to what your asking, but thats what boost cruising is all about isn't it?! I ride a 20 inch trials bike, slow and steady but good fun.
Anyone else into the 'trials' side of bikes, in the hobart area?

Have you been through the few tracks up a bit further behind the big track at tolosa?..pretty windy and has a few jumps that go over logs n there is one jump that has a skull and cross bones on it and it has a pretty big drop that clears a track under it and goes down the other side of the track under it
PANDA
May 28 2009, 08:00 PM
Baz thats the Downhill track. The big track jumps are 4cross and dirtjump behind is Cross country(XC) and Downhill

Im looking at getting a bike at the moment but not sure if i get a road bike or mountain bike to go bush.
Its purely for fitness so thinking road would be more suitable but not keen to share the road with some of the halfwits that "drive"

True but i figure if i get a road bike then the temptation to go do something stupid on a mtb cant come into play and i will still be able to walk

yeah just tolosa really did mountain couple months back but everyone is lazy and to much effort to organise doing other trails cause u need a heap of ppl so u can have cars at the top and bottom ect. so just ride tolosa cause isnt far to get to the tracks ride round town every now n then for something different
