Midge D commented on Carfree's group Critical Mass

"Re: #4: I think doing it weekly would probably bring C.M to the attention of the authorities who at the moment seem to tolerate the event, especially in the Summer with the large ~100+ turn outs."

Wanted: BMX Bike/Clunker

As a change of pace this summer i'm after a basic BMX bike for pub runs etc (a bit like the borrowed one in my profile pic). Just to put you in the picture i'm in my 40's pushing about 5' 4" on a tall day so preferably need a 20" frame (top tube length) , 360 degree handlebar headsets and stunt pegs(?) not required (though could be fun :) ), and it has to be cheap. If anyone knows the whereabouts of one or sees one (Cash Converters,etc) please give me a nod.CheersMidge(ps: i'm in the B26 Area)See More

"Not sure but the Academy moved as it was going to be demolished but it's now reopening so if Oasis was part of the same plans it may be there for some time."
