spin king Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Saw Bruce ride his ice bike in the 80's, he just leaned the bike to the left and round he went, no sliding all traction, obliterated track records (un-officially)wherever he went! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He came to Sheffield on his "tour" as well, and went around in about 56 seconds, which hasn't been done on a normal bike even now! Nobody had seen anything quite like it at the time. He used to spectate at Long Eaton a lot in the late 80's as well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 56 seconds now that is very fast.

Bryn Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Cribby hasn't changed a bit - a cheery smile and a vice like handshake still - and he was a welcome visitor at a couple of meetings at the Isle of Wight last year whilst on holiday with his family.
