What I like about Cycle Chat.

[TVC]

There is, its called Iceland.

A country twice the size of the UK with a population that is half the size of the M25 (on a quiet day).

You can ignore everyone for a lifetime up there.

I've been, it is rather good.

I have this thing I look for when out walking, I try to find my own square mile. There are a couple of places in the Peak District where you get a good all round view and you are away from roads and paths. It is very relaxing to sit down, listen to the skylarks and know that no bugger is going to disturb you.

My dad and I used to do the same. We hiked to some pretty remote spots and always found it amazing that there wasn't a soul around for miles...until you looked up and saw a airliner...every time!

I've learned all sorts such as the benefits of putting a new tyre in the oven to make it easier to fit and something as simple as oiling a chain needs 20 pages of careful consideration and discussion first.

My life was missing something, then I stumbled upon cycle chat and discovered what it was.....I had never been called a "nobber" before.

Now the empty shell that was once my life is finally complete. Thank you cc!

I too have learnt a lot on here, especially that @vernon is a pie maker supremo, @User14044 owns the Oyster Bay Vineyard in New Zealand,@The Velvet Curtain can sew and make furry animals and @potsy has been seen on a bike @hopless500 told me.

Seriously i have learnt lots even on the arguement thread and i have met some great friends on here.

Can't imagine life without you all

Argument thread? Is that free or do you have to pay?

Payment to be abused is always an option i believe

If only there was an ignore button in real life.

My wife has one

But how do you do that when you are 20 miles from home ??

If you've ridden 20 miles on it, it is not a new tyre.

I suppose if you really wanted, you could knock on someone's door and ask to use their oven.

Isn't there??? ... I could have sworn .... then again, maybe I'm being ignored while thinking it's me doing the ignoring ...

Would now be a good time to remind all those who find that Cyclechat has added a certain "something" to their lives, (even if it is being called a nobber!)...of this page

When someone creates the worst post of 2016 thread, I was going to nominate one of mine, but I think this one substantially tops it.

Just kidding, good post. How much did you get paid for it?

Well noted as soon as pay day arrives I will most definitely be donating to this brilliant site.

I once walked the Calderwent path from Penistone down to Ladybower in the Peak District, stopped and put the tent up just before the start of the reservoir and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a building/road within 5 miles of where I camped. Beautiful night.
OK its not as 'wild' as you can get in the Highlands but well out of the way nonetheless.
