[Closed] Do you ride like a pirate?

You'll need an invite to the Premier Forum for full details

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...

Maybe it's a splinter group of [url= http://talklikeapirate.com/wordpress/ ]Talk Like A Pirate Day[/url]

I like the cut of his jib though..... I shall also ride more like a pirate 🙂

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?

I'm very #endyaaarrrro

You lot arrrrrrrah in four-a-treat.

Filmed with a potato/VHS charm. Grab the popcorn and thank me later.

I hope he didn't go over the b-aaarrrs!

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.

Aaaargh!

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...

....in his 50s on an old fashioned bakers bike? I only ask as one stopped and sung a sea shanty

OP were you on a road bike and being a bit slack up hill?

Just ride with more Gnaaaaaar.

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!

Maybe he wanted to plunder your booty.

Or shiver your timber?

Or give you an angry pirate?

....the cut of his jib or perhaps jibe?

Sorry I'll get my parrot.

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."

Hmmm, maybe I should take my bike for Exeter Pirate Day in September then I could ride like a pirate. Might get more money for the Arrrrr NLI 😛

Sure he didn't say you ride like a prat?

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. 😀
