* advising*

[Noles12]

theres a shed load of advice being given to kids on here.

a simple look through users posts will usually contain relevant info such as age and exp etc. some are so so easy to spot by the manner in which they post.

99% of them get caught out pretty quickly and then pop up a week later again in the hope no one will notice, and some pretend to be holding off till they're older and still ask cycle questions and other members are ADVISING them, jesus its obvious what they're going to use now!! whats the point in responsible members putting them off in the first place?! its easy to check newish posters.

im just trying to say, at least bother to check before you advise

and a note for some of these kids. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO ADVISE.

I hate coming in a thread where 10 people have given 10 different ways to cycle and i look back to see how old the OP really is and they turn out to be 18. It is hard to tell someone they arent ready to cycle when they have just been told exactly how to do it

yeah, i know you cant stop them from cycling, but i certainly wouldnt be advising them either

No thats not what i was saying. I truthfully believe with the truth about the risks you can easily change the minds of these kids. The problem is trying to do it after they have already been given advice on how to cycle. I never advise someone on something i feel could be extremely dangerous, which i think starting too young definitely is
