Nasty but Useful
Nasty Evil Bike prepped in the garage for another week of commuting. I don't like this bike, but I don't hate it like it hates me.
Believe it or not under all the nana-accessories is a mountainbike. It's a cross-country bike but I once raced it in the Rotorua round of the New Zealand Downhill Champs. I managed to stay on that time but in the Auckland Downhill Champs at Dome Valley I was spectacularly thrown through the air (to the delight of the crowd) landing head first in a cutty-grass bush half-way down a bank.
Accepting the bike's evil nature (and handling) I retired from downhill after a two race career and restricted myself to crashing during cross-country races, something I (and the geometry of the frame) were rather adept at. Twenty years later I am still riding the Nasty Evil Bike. It is horrible, but it is tough.
