A bicycle.What's a pushbike?
I'm trying to bring back the word 'by-sycal' instead of 'by-sickle'. Please use that in future. (I suppose that's how you might had said it when you typed though to be fair. I'm sure it was).A bicycle.
Dali lives!And don't ask him about his pushbike either.

"...the push in "push bike" refers to having to push on the pedals to make it move. It only came about to distinguish from motorized versions once they became a thing. Lots of things get named like this, and then the extra adjective gets dropped after (if) it they become the dominant form...."What's a pushbike?

See this collection of answers for thoughts about the source and original usage of the term.
...also do not have any concept of the pain that a Raleigh Chopper could produce when the gears decide to let go under heavy pedalling.a whole generation of young cyclists
'Mashed naggers' was @CarlosTheDJ's term for that I think....also do not have any concept of the pain that a Raleigh Chopper could produce when the gears decide to let go under heavy pedalling.

Indeed.That's an F40! The horror, the horror...
There is a possibility that an unscrupulous owner of 'several' might decide to 'torch' the one that is in worst condition in order to increase the value of the remaining stock.
Just saying.
Really? I won't buy any more then.Then again, it's not entirely unknown for Ferraris to catch fire without outside help, so there's probably no conspiracy required .
Yeah, they're a death trap. An accident waiting to happen.Really? I won't buy any more then.

How do they compare to the East German Trabant?Yeah, they're a death trap. An accident waiting to happen.
Nearly as dodge as Vauxhall Zafiras.
I wouldn't even park one in the sunshine they're that flammable.

Old pants and glue? Sounds like pleasure to me!Although the Trabant had a certain charming simplicity (with bodywork basically made from old pants and glue), I don't think it's something I would drive for pleasure!
I've just come across this post by chance and have reread the news report for my personal entertainment.Woman and friend broke their legs after using a swimming pool slide during a drunken night out.
Claire Vickers, 46, and pal Barry Douglas, 44, remained stuck in a flume for two hours with fractured shins and shattered feet before they were rescued.
The two had broken into Aldershot Lido in Hampshire in the early hours of August 4.
After splashing water down from the top to generate extra speed, Claire and Barry stepped into the tube together, thinking that it was clear all the way down.
But just before they came out the bottom, their legs collided with a barrier that had been placed at the exit.
It occurred to me that it's not beyond the bounds of drunken stupidity that they might have chosen to go down head first! Considering the severity of the injuries to their legs, I'm guessing that might well have have proved fatal...I've just come across this post by chance and have reread the news report for my personal entertainment.
Excellent stupidity there.![]()
Christopher Broad, 16, was killed when he took it in turns with Joshua Vining, 17, to wear the bulletproof vest and fire the gun at one another on April 3.
Vining was charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child and another friend, Colton Whitler, 17, was charged with lying to police about who fired the shots.
The incident in Belleview, Florida, was recorded by Evan Vowell, 18, who handed the footage over to police as evidence.
Christopher then fired a single shot at Vining while he wore the vest. They then swapped roles and Vining shot the gun once and then four more times in quick succession.
There's no reason to block off a slide to stop it being used after hours. Only staff would have access and they wouldn't use it then.What I always wondered about that though is that, fine, block off the water slides to prevent people using them after hours, but how about blocking off the bottom and the top?
A business can't provide safety features solely for the sake of intoxicated burglars…

The burglar was identified as 19-year-old Gavin Crim.This report though, from Safety Harbor, with a burglar called Gavin Crim comes close.

Not so sure about 'breaking' in as he apparently just walked in through an unlocked door! Maybe one of those towns that is so safe everyone leaves their doors open.Mr Crim did break in though.
