    Was out for Short ride yesterday and as I passed a guy going opposite direction he shouted out that I should “ride like a pirate! “

    Am i missing some new biking/ ‘net phenomenon?? 😀

    Ah yes, must remember to get that sorted actually flash. Thanks for reminding me

    I know I’m missing out on a few perks/info not being able to access the Premier forum. I know the invite can take upto 48 hours so will give it a while longer.

    Anyway,I digress…

    Ah yes, could well be a biking Splinter Cell of the pirating community. He’s a bit early date wise but pirates are notoriously bad with planning/ getting dates right. Right?

    Was he a hippy guy in his 50s on an old fashioned bakers bike? I only ask as one stopped and sung a sea shanty for my mate and I at a festival earlier thus year.

    Dirt in his eye so bouncing down the trail one-eyed, going ‘oooh arr, oooh arr’ (though that sounds more like a Devonshire farmer)?

    Not sure why you would want to follow that example mind you…

    Maybe he wanted to plunder your booty.

    We should adopt the code 🙂

    http://www.biketexas.org/en/news/community/2042-Ride-Like-a-Pirate-

    Does every bilge rat have flat changin’ tools?”

    Car back — “There be dragons.”

    Car up — “Here be dragons.”

    Road hazard — “Ahoy, mates! Watch yourselves o’er this ____.”

    Speeding up — “Smartly, mates! This be not the time for slackin’!”

    Stopping — “Avast! There be a stop sign!”

    And if someone ignores ride etiquette — “Release the Kraken

    After the ride — “Pass me the grog, mates, or be keelhauled.”

    Runnersworld Triathletes are/were a well know group of pirates. Was he/she in yellow and black?

    I would, but it’s a nightmare changing gears with a hook for a hand. Not to mention “what flat pedals” for a wooden leg…

    Local riding group have what they call a pirate enduro, god knows what that means other than a tenner to enter and no timing system.

    They are a bunch of weirdos, so that kinda explains it.

    I do but he definitely shouted “pirate” not “prat” though. 😀
