1a2bcio8 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yo,Just wondering what the scene is like in Bristol at the moment or what it's going to be like at the beginning of the academic year? I'm moving there but am currently bikeless. Would consider getting another bike if there was a decent sized scene as I seem to require this these days to enjoy riding. I'm assuming Mr Johns is gonna be about at least What's the score, peeps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1a2bcio8 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 No idea on the people... but you won't run out of local play areas that is for sure.The riding alone, regardless of objects to ride, simply is not enough for me anymore. There has to be a vibrant social scene surrounding it. To be honest, the social aspect appeals more than the riding. Thanks for your reply though.

Now I'm just wondering if there's gonna be any new faces about? I was assuming that some people might be going to one of the Bristol universities.Move to london...? I had the chance but I love Bristol London seems good in many senses but too hectic for my mental disposition. Also the uni faculty there were a bit too pompous for my liking. Whereas Bristol uni were much more sincere. Edited August 30, 2009 by Ben Rowlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1a2bcio8 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Well, this is all very encouraging. The last year in Swindon had been a bit lame because the other riders rode hardly ever then they all quit - so I ended up stopping as well. I just want a situation where there are a few people up for regular riding and that seems somewhat likely from the responses. It would definitely be cool if there was a large group up for regular rides though, as the times when I've experienced this it's been very enjoyable.And I certainly am looking for a new bike. Actually, I've been looking at a bmx on ebay which is very appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matheprat Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Surely the more people with bikes, the larger the regular group is going to be. So buy a (trials) bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
