Just Ordered My New Bike

Do you guys have any mountains in Denmark? (I'm totally ignorant of Danish geography :-O)

Nope, almost totally flat. Hmm, you only live a few hours drive away, you should take a trip here sometime ;)

With much 'Oktan' and free from 'Blei', a 'craft stuff' such as Benzine (Petrol). What does it mean?

I dont mean to sound dismissive, but I have never found bicycles exciting. They are bloody tiring, slow, and totally 'un-extreme'. I cant see how anyone could get excited about one. Now, a new pair of skiis, thats a different matter. That I can get excited about!

Yeah, you are right. There is nothing extreme about this[^] or any of these videos[^]. Dude, you seem ignorant about extreme sports as bicycles have been at its core since the begining. Watch a few seconds of X-Games and the BMX events. (Not to seem too dismissive eh :P )

eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.

Woah, very nice. Was looking at one on the weekend, maybe in a few months time. Looking forward to some photos of yours of it and photos from your cycling trips.

You are riding a lot right? What bike do you have?

A GT Avalanche[^] mountainbike. More suitable for everyday riding here in Ireland where the roads are rougher than a boar-in-heat's back. I want a good racer for weekend rides though.

I just ordered my new Trek 1200[^] yesterday :) Nothing really expensive, but I still think it's a good bike. (Direct Photo Link[^]) Now I can't wait to get it and try it out :)

Nice bike :) I have a trek 4300 MTB, but find that I use it on good roads 90% of the time... Thats why I wanted the racer :) -- modified at 7:19 Wednesday 23rd August, 2006

Different bike to the one posted about. That was a road bike not a BMX bike. BMX is totally different and I watch it, and other extreme sports with a lot of admiration for the fearlessness and agility they require.

Tillykke ! I've got a Ghost 5100 htx MTB myself - and although Denmarks is relatively flat, there's still hills in the woods that I cannot climb. So lots of challenges. Fat_boy: downhill may be extreme, but try going uphill for once :)

Well, I'm from Sweden and I can tell you we learn very early in school that "Himmelsbjerget" (Heavens mountain) is the highest hill in Denmark. And if you go there you see all of Denmark :-D

I love biking, for so many reasons. It's nice to have to world go by slowly sometimes, to turn the bend and see a family of deer grazing, or have a squirrel run along besides me for a minute--biking in the country is great! It's exhiliarating to be doing 40 MPH down the hills (in a 30 MPH zone, no less). It's fantastic exercise. I quickly become disconnected from the daily troubles of life and enjoy the feel of doing something that feels really freeing but also requires a lot of willpower. Marc

Well then go place yourself near a corner at the bottom of a steep hill during a road race and come back and tell me the chaps aren't a bit nuts in the head. Better yet, get on a racer and go down a hill at 60+kph in a pack of riders with a long sweeping corner half-way down when all you are wearing is a few millimeters-thick cloth and some styrofoam stuck to your head. No leathers, no knee guards or full-face helmets, just you and lots of skin flaying tar. I've skiied and I have cycled and both can get pretty hairy.
