I prefer rollerblading myself.  I'm just into recreational inline
skating, but it's still way fun!


BTW, I just bought myself a new bike.  I used to have a mountain bike
with slim, slick tyres for city use, but now I've got a proper hybrid
commuting bike.  The old mountain bike got the old fat, knobby tyres
back on.  I tried to take it for a ride, and I have to say that those
tyres are really awful for city use.  I cannot understand why that
many people use fat tyres in the city.  I feel just plain unsafe with
'em.  There's no feeling of control at all.  They're probably better
for off road use, though.  (I think they are Tioga Psycho II.)

I would be careful taking the LEGO outdoors on a sunny day.  I used to
have the 5580 Highway Rig on display as a child.  It wasn't even close
to the window, but still all the white parts yellowed.  Yuck!

(...) I have pre dark ages bricks that used to be white too. But they have been stored in light secure boxes and such so I have no clue how that occured, I suppose it's aging in the plastic. Any other thoughts on this? /Tobbe (URL) (25 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.general)
