We have all of the above 00- and we have a great deal of the lovely, upstanding 1% biker types around here- I live off the main road that takes you to a biker bar- named cooks corner- about 15 miles from my place.

Indeed maynard as anarchic as afternoon tea.
You've got it mr b, Matlock Bath, just down the road from Smedley Mills. The Sundays were like a powder keg in the 80,s with casual violence between skinheads and biker gangs breaking out willy-nilly. All now disbanded to congregate in lesser but better natured numbers on the bank holidays, the rest of the summer its like Quadrophenia after the weekend with just the recently moneyed 50 somethings who have cashed in their pensions to 'live the dream' of buying into the peripheries of a contrived scene. |

I thought the accents were great and the cicadas chirping at night sounded very realistic!

worked in a few shops owned by the above mentioned motor riders, it was quite interesting I have to say.
I have a strong bias towards bikers since.

'Bare foot runners' what's the deal with those guys? I never used to see them in the countryside but i see them regularly on my ride home. They're not covered in tech and compression wear like most runners, they work alone, their running gear is old sun-bleached nylon, they look gnarley and bearded like they've just completed the des Sables but they run on their tippy-toes in a style akin to a prancing horse?? |

Read 'Born to Run' by Christopher McDougall and all will be revealed - Tarahumara Indians in the copper canyons of Mexico running in sandals inspired a trend, which probably hit its peak a few years ago. I like the idea but try to run with more of a mid-foot strike wearing shoes with a lower drop and avoid the shuddering heel strike, rather than go the whole hog with vibram fivefingers or other minimalist/no-drop shoes.
