Yeah bike riders who don’t take pictures, what’s the point of going out for a ride to keep stopping to take daft pictures, have bike will ride not have bike will stop every ten miles to photograph it.

I tend to agree if out with a group but on the trail bikes there can be many gates to open and close so i usually take a photo when i stop for that. On my own i do stop occasionally to look at the views so a photo is easy then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with groups on the trail riding side plus the one that really gets me is no tools to repair puncture or any spares but then expect you to supply them with a tube if the inevitable happens but no mention of giving you a replacement tube after 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
