Quite simply because the opportunity arose. I may or may not ever use stewarding skills, but it's there if I need it. The course was free and I'm up for trying any course that is short enough to keep me interested, especially if it is a subject that is somewhat out of the ordinary.
speaking as an everyday cyclist, mudguards are not optional if you don;t want to get where you're going with your shins, bottom and back covered in water/mud/grit/motor oil. so it might be worth keeping them hand somehwere, unless you're goig to be a fair-weather cyclist *mock snotty expresssion*
Mud guards, pffff! Nowt like a bit o' muck to mek yer grow!
And we'll have non of that snottiness here. *shakes a finger at you* Us part-time dry weather cyclists with our spotless shell suits and our bicylce clips have just as much right to pedal our 21 gear bicycles on the flat as you do. Just because you know how to use the other 20 gears it doesn't make you better than us *snigger*
Actually the mud guards won't go back on. The new tyres are too bulky to pass underneath them without catching. I'm hoping it is because the mud guards were those half-moon type, maybe with the more flexible "mountain bike" style I wouldn't have the same problem. With my dodgy ankle and my unaccustomed bum cheeks I can't travel very far on my bike yet anyway, so mud guards are the least of my worries :p
*giggles* Mountain bike style guards are fine, but if they don't go down the back wheel far enough, you still get plenty of stuff to make yer grow :)
I'll see whether I can get hold of a Barbie bicycle helmet for you to go with the bike *ducks*
*clears throat and looks over top edge of glasses* Now if you don't stop giving me gyp, young lady, I'll give your bum cheeks something to get accustomed to!
