I mean, a little odd obviously, and possibly a little middle class biased, but overall and in a general sort of way, better.

Discuss.

Blinkered. Selfish. Moronic.

Also known as a reflection of the general mindset of the real world 😉

But we would have the opinion of a medical professional, which I believe is all that really matters.

Fortunately, there is a far greater depth of thinking and experience to be found in Greater Society than you will find on here...

I find some on here to be frighteningly narrow minded, to be perfectly honest. Thankfully, most folk I encounter have the ability to think just a little beyond a tiny sphere of experience. Some folk on here just [i]think[/i] they're clever and worldly-wise. Truth is many of them are actually quite ignorant of Life Beyond the Bubble.

Middle England would self-destruct if it were left to it's own devices and kept completely separate from the rest of Civilisation.

Must remember not to start threads after drinking.

That'll be a no then? Apart from possibly Elfin.

Time to change subject. Sky are doing well in the Vuelta at the moment, aren't they.

Like, guys, erm, how about we all imbibe a little herbal tea, reminisce on great days at one with the trail and lust after bike jewellry in a non consumerist fashion, yeah?

Actually, given that you (myself included I suppose) are STW, there seems to be a lot of self-loathing out there.

I think it would be more fun.
H&S rules would be a little more relaxed for a start...

Parliament would be more lively and the country slightly more shambolic.

A lot of people would spend their time commenting on the state of others lawns and valve/logo alignment.

Lots of people would spend too much money on bikes.

Everyone would cycle everywhere at 5mph slower than the speed they claim to cycle.

no it would be bleak and terrifying place where to look at boobies would get you shot at dawn or even worse sent to the ministry for re-education staffed by Victorian sensibilities mod and his humourless cohorts. 😀

Just to counteract the end-of-the-world pic.... This place has done my mindset some good over the years; the best manifestations of these positive outcomes are that I no longer break the speed limit in a 30 zone, understand why roadies cycle two abreast and now own a Charge Spoon - the comfiest saddle in the world. I'd never have heard of it had I not visited these hallowed portals. My backside thanks you.

I've learned to question a few long-held beliefs, for better or for worse. I still don't clean my bike properly but understand why some do (easier maintenance for those who can be arsed).

Sadly, the, "General mindset of STW (forum)" is far too abstract a concept to apply a general, political set of principals to, and for that reason....

no.
