Today I took a fookin "Boris Bike" into the air in an 11" foot concrete bowl! I must be the only cnt who's done that yet! Surely?!

I really hope to provide some photographic evidence, but for those that know me.. know me, it was around 2ft clear

This fooking thing:

can't blame yer as i got a beer in front of me

those things are fooking heavy - you might as well try driving a tank and getting better feeling

I think you might have set the challenge, to get the highest air on one of the Mongo bikes in a bowl or ramp

There's an 80's Postie's bike in the shed at me Mum's my bro bought it for a tenner when he was at Uni. Could do OS junk bike airs on that...

Never ridden a Boris, but yeah, they look like tanks.

get some pix of that up.

I use Boris Bike's daily and they have the worst geometry of any bike i have ever ridden. Its not that they are heavy, its that they feel like lumps of lead due to their bad geometry. If you ever ride one just try to guide it slowly in between traffic they are all over the place

£1 for 24 hours (but you need to dock it within 30 mins and then you have to wait 5 mins to get another one out)
or
£50 to actually have it on your person (as such) for upto 24 hours without redocking it.

Hmmm, could be a laugh but what are they like to ride though?

Oh yes, sorry but being lazy today.

The term is "fun" rob. Or a challenge

They have been designed for every sort of rider in mind so are an experience. Imagine a 1950s girl's shopper bike.
Some ride quite well and others are complete dogs
