in my country(madrid)there's a lot of bikes passion,but the city is incompatible with the road bike and the rail-bike is full of people without bike,then we have to drive 100 kilometers to found good places where to trainer whit the bicycle.

reading between the lines I'd say Madrid is very busy city to ride bicycle in.Is this so?

nathank

welcome!

i have yet to make it to Madrid, but i was in Barcelona last December (unfortunately w/o bike), but Barcelona looked great for riding with the hills right near the city.

and you should have tons of great options not too far away. how about the Sierrra Nevada? or the Pirrenies?

my bike club did a tour in the Sierra Nevada last fall and said it was awesome with maintained roads up to 2900m or something like that.

i know Spain has a great road cycling scene, but how is the mountain bikign there? (note: i just got back from 2 weeks of mountain biking in southern France and Italy - was awesome!)

I took the bikes to Spain ages ago. Cycling from the airport in Madrid was ... interesting, but the country was great.

Welcome to the forum Ostas!
Spanish bikes are very nice, Orbea who also now makes the Zeus bikes is a good company with a quality product.
I'm sure Beckham will help your boys to the La Liga title again this upcoming year!

I agree, WOW what a footballer..... That team is so stacked it is not even funny, there offense is basically an all-star team...

palmix

me no habla mocho spanol ser d'Albacete JA, JA, JA JA!!!........


...que si tio, que las carreteras están asquerosas y los automovilistas no respetan... esa es la razón por la que hace ya años me cambié al MTB...

Greetings from Albacete

ostas

lsr,with beckham we'll be more perfects! je je - zeus have a good relation quality/price but i'm love of the italian bikes and my bicycle:specialized allez and vitus 797

nofx,don't you think that more soccer stars don't give more spectacule? ...it said that real madrid is the best team of the world.beckham is very much image but zidane,raul,ronaldo aren't nice looking and they're very good players

palmix:ja ja,q cabroncete eres,me has hecho creer q eras de allli por tus primeras palabras.veo q tu tambien posteas en este foro,pues a falta de foros de carretera buenos en españa,nos toca buscar otros foros.por cierto,en albacete yo creo q la bici de carretera no esta tan mal,aqui en madrid te obligan a pasarte a la mtb.posteas en solomountainbike.com es de lo mejor en foros de mtb.espero q hablems en eeuu como en españa.1saludo

Not the Greatest footballer but his free kicks are amazing and so are his crosses.... I don't base my stars on image my fav player of all time was Eric Cantona....But That team with have a offensive punch from hell.

ostas

i don't base my stars on image,but beckham is an exception beacuse he's pure image but he play very good to soccer.do you think about this?

eric cantona was a great player!he had a great character,but o lot of people said that ii he had played in the spanish league or the italian calcio he had fracase!

LSR

Ok soccer is a little off topic here but: Beckham's 50 yard passes are incredible, he runs all day long, corners and free kicks are great, but some games he doesn't show up. I bet next season Raul will score more goals because of Becks. I'd take him over Zidane and especially Figo. What Madrid needs is someone like Jaap Stam to sure up that defence
I like players with character too, my favorite was Stuart Pearce (Psycho!).

Nofx

I bet they ride really nice bikes..... Ok see now back on topic a little.... I would find it really funny if Becks or Figo pulls up on a Huffy.... hahahaha

ostas

the truth is that we're doing this topic of soccer alone!

soccer is funny but the bycicles too and this forum is about cycles!

last note: STUART PIERCE was crazy!he had a phsycological perfil!

stam is other great player but in the last years he don't seems the player that he was in the manchester U
