After much debate here on TC on where is ok, where is right, safe, bad or ‘ethical’ to ride, I can report that after having my bike road registered I have ridden for most of the summer straight from my house twice a week when and where I like without any trouble. Ive done roads, woods, quarries, disused rail lines and most places I like the look of to ride. Ive had a few questions from folks (ramblers & horse riders) along the way and ive just been polite and honest with them!, I also enjoy the countryside but I like to explore it on my trials bike instead of on foot. I always stop when horse riders appear and ive never had a bad experience with anyone. Been stopped by the police and produced my documents, no problem.

So – Stay young, stay foolish, road register ... invest in a longride seat and enjoy.

Enjoy it while you can... we are parked next to a Supernova! Once the core collapses we are cosmic dust in a nanosecond.
