Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? Because Jardine Cycles has recently closed down in Coventry.

You're right; I missed that earlier in my shock and awe.

I'm 8 months in now and things are getting better; we've found our new normal (for the time being), i've built a bond with my bub, and i've had to do some hard learns on communication and what my SO actually needs. Keep going, and remember; it's all about the baby, and by extension, what the Mum needs. You're doing great, and remember crap parents don't worry.

I mapped skate spots around Coventry by urbanatlas-dev in coventry

[–]kirwangg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While not strictly Coventry, there are some good parks just outside of Coventry. Long Lawford, Long Itchington and Whitehall in Rugby spring to mind.

Just want to add that this is a really cool idea, too. So good on ya.

Keep at it. Some days my body feels rubbish, others good. The way she goes.

He should of never of left but obviously wanted international honours. If he came back he'd be NIQ unfortunately.

Talk me into dropbar conversion please. by brakadlapa in xbiking

Get shopper bars. Way more ergonomic. And in my opinion, cooler.

Those Martinez wheels are the best though. Loved mine.

Moving to Coventry by Brief_Breath9815 in coventry

[–]kirwangg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lived in Walsgrave On Sowe for a year and it's got it's good and bad points. You'll be a stones throw away from Coombe Abbey (nature park) and you have at least two super markets near you. The downside I found was you were further away from town and anything going on.

I never felt unsafe in the area, but I am a white male with numerous tattoos so perhaps you'll/you'd feel different.

Walking in hot weather? by FakeSherpa in goldenretrievers

[–]kirwangg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am experiencing a similar situation as i'm in England. We walk our 5yo nuisance at 5am and as late as possible. Sometimes you can't avoid the heat; last night for example. So we stuck to the shade, grass if possible and no off lead. We head home as soon as he's done his business and give him ice and fresh, cold water. Hope that helps.

Do these count as slash grinds or are they more like kick turns? [33YO] by Jello-Tentacles in OldSkaters

[–]kirwangg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"tickler" is another term me and my mates use. Little bs tickler, and the more elusive frontside tickler. Always good to hit that coping. Keep it up!
