Do you let friends have a go?

On a group ride one guy on manual was struggling and we swapped, up until that point I have been off or eco, dutifully waiting for him to catch up. No sooner did we swap, he discovered the Turbo button and disappeared into the distance. Needless to say he isn't getting a second go.

Do I let friends have a go? Yes.

On one occasion I let three interested teenagers have a go, even though I didn't know them or where they lived.

Of course I did have two hostage as each in turn rode!

Reactions neatly summed up by one as he returned with a big grin on his face and said "Wicked!"

Since I've already mashed the rear mech hanger, and got a pile of scratches from a few incidents, I'm not that precious about my bike! A couple of the guys at work have ridden it, and my brother and dad also.

I don't get too hung up on the appearance of it in terms of scratches to the paintwork, I actually prefer the well used look. There's a genesis frequently in the bike room with even the drive train always bright and shiny and new looking. It just looks kind of weird!
