New one on me....

[Bigtallfatbloke]

...I was cycling this morning and had cause to go up a small but irratating hill on the way into Stock village. A few months ago I would have walked up it but now I am riding up it with a full 4 pannier load with no problems...although I am usually knackered at the top and take a breather near the church.

It's a hill where I see lot's of cyclist's dismounting and walking up the hill, it's not abnormal to see people do that on this hill.....BUT...

Today i saw a cyclist walking DOWN the hill!!...a quick glance confirmed that no flat tyres were to blame and a the customary nod and hello signalled all was well.....

...walking DOWN a hill....hmmm...that's a new one on me....maybe I should try it one day...looks like I'm missing something.

Could have been some other mechanical fault? Or some sort of cramp, or a bad twinge in the saddle area requiring a spell off the bike?

snapped brake cables or maybe a broken spoke? or a knackered bb

Maybe he's got carpal tunnel syndrome and can't pull his brakes?

Maybe he's on his way to work... no need to rush.

It's easier to walk down than up!

She's seen the size of your panniers and was laying in wait...to catch your eye?!
