How to Ride a Postie Bike up a Mountain
« on: August 20, 2013, 10:37:30 PM »
Found these old photos when i rode my fathers postie bike up a rather large Hill/Mountain Near Winton in Western QLD, if i remember right it was about a 120km round trip, and all dirt road as well as the up and down the hill, but the view was awesome! taken in 2007

please note the high quality safety gear i am wearing  :thumb

Yep, stunning view!  Glad you made it all the way up the "mountain".
Obviously an early convert to the merits of Hondas.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
