Carter USM did a bit of bike clothing, IIRC.

Whoops. Forgot about this.

How about we introduce 2 classes into sports where one lot take the peds and the others don’t. Fiver says the class that did would become the most popular of the two.

Racist!

To be fair when I last held up a supermarket I wore my lid and used my bike to get away, so they may have a point.

Sounds like the motivation I might need if standing near a mirror in lycra doesn’t work as well as I expect it to – I’m in.

“Shes’s bad, no body is badder, but shes got more crabs than a seafood platter.” Eazy E.

And the original sample for smack my bitchup is taken from Ultramagnetic MCs and it says “Smack my bitch up like a pimp” so despite any protestations the Prodigy made that its not related to beating women I think it might just be after all…

Still think Blurred lines is about the worst example of recent times. Quite rapey really.

What about the effect power has on overtaking? I can over take in my wifes Clio but its far safer in my 5 series as it does it far quicker despite the difference in weight. That is down to power.

As a kid walking on the footpath I once got hit by a car pulling out of the way of an ambulance by mounting the kerb. It would have been an ironic way to go…

Super car = unaffordable to anyone less than a multi-millionaire
Hyper car = unaffordable to anyone that doesn’t own their own oil field

One that can fly/talk/juggle.

My mate came over to my house in his Gallardo trying to show off and telling my son (4) it was a super car to which my son said “Can it fly?, No? Then its not a super car is it!” This is now (in my book) the dictionary definition!

Mine did this when the lock ring came a bit loose – if you haven’t already its worth a check.

Maybe there’s also an element to stages of life people are at? I am in my late 30’s have a young family and a good job which I work hard at. Thus I have a nice car, a relatively expensive bike but limited ‘me’ time due to the aforementioned family and job.

The lack of time makes a local trail centre ideal as its an efficient way to get a ride in outside of family and work time.

Not everyone can bugger off into the wilds for the whole weekend even if they wanted to.

I’d love to be able to ride from home, but living in Lincoln this is not really an option, so apart from the occasional ‘just bagging some miles ride’ most of my biking starts with a car journey.

Exactly the same. There are a few alright bits around the South Common or Greetwell quarry and you can string an average XC ride together with minimal road time but Lincoln is mostly flat and boring so its in the back of the car for me too.

I am always cautious at junctions and try to make eye contact with drivers waiting to pull out. However this was a car pulling on to a driveway.

Surely If your kids are basing their opinion of you as their father on the behaviour of an animated pig then you are probably failing as their dad any way so subversion is a moot point.

My little brother likes to watch a series in one sitting. After one of his marathon sessions he once told my wife she didn’t know what tired was. Not wise given she had given birth to our first child 3 days earlier…

In answer to the OP they get progressively sillier but suspend your disbelief and they’re still good for a laugh.

Just found this on youtube thought I’d share

Isto – thanks for the reminder of Coldcuts Journeys By DJ, have just listened to that after many years without. Its ******* brilliant still!

Tonight I’m digging out James Lavelle at Cream which is also one I’d forgotten.

Loving it.

This used to be quoted more than anything by me and my mates back in the day. It was made all the more special by having a Jun Tae work at the same company as I did about ten years ago (I’m not sure he ever thought it was funny, but it didn’t stop me)

Depth Charge still get a regular play on my stereo.

There are so many great Solid Steel shows, there was a great Scratch Perverts set I used to play all the time but I can’t find it from work…

The Book is great, has any one that has read the book seen the film? I love David Finchers films so have high expectations….

I love that NYE video. Never get bored of watching it.

Oh and I lived next door but one to Limahl from Kajagoogoos gran!

IU had a piss on Rolf Harris’ drive (but it was back when he was still widely loved so people used to think that made me a bit of a **** – who’s having the last laugh now?)

I think the answer to the political debate is about numbers. More potential voters are car drivers and don’t like traffic jams. The irony being if more were cyclists there would be less jams but that’s not going to sway the ignorant masses.

We have an organisation really pushing for better cycling/public transport where I live. The local rag ran an article about an improvement to the cycle infrastructure resulting in a contraflow along a main road for a fortnight while works were undertaken. The comments are all similar to the example below:

It is pointless complaining, the imbeciles in the road planning dept, are obsessed with turning Lincoln into a car free zone, they seem to think this is Amsterdam where cyclists rule the roads. Had the money wasted on unused cycleways been spent on over used congested road systems, we may achieve something, until then chaos will remain.

To the vast majority of the people commenting the idea of riding a bike hasn’t even crossed their mind, what with all the danger and disruption to their day it would cause.

I commute on said road and its 10 minutes faster by bike than car to cover 4 miles and I am still alive (just)

It could be my cousin. He has always been a nice trustable sort of chap but I could get a couple of nutters to interogate him about this coning situation just to be sure.

I commute on a shared use path alongside a university.

Shared use, students, how bad can it be?

The intellectual elite who are going on to rule the world are, on the whole, as thick as shit.

What he said.^^

I also can never decide what to do if pedestrians are walking in the cycle lane. If I move onto the foot path section to go round them they always seem to lurch across into my path as I get close and then tut at me as I am now on the walking section… If you head straight at them you appear like some angry militant type cyclist and a bit of a twunt. Can’t win either way even if it’s them causing re issue to begin with.

My Golden Retriever loves a lap of the Kitchener in Sherwood Pines but thats pretty much his limit. He has, in the dry, had sore paws afterwards which I guess was the hard ground. He has a head strong sort of temperament and would carry on long after he’s knackered himself and I need to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t do himself any damage.

Judging by the amount of acronyms plastered all over my Cube I doubt there is any combination of 3 letters Cube haventt used 😉

That wasn’t aimed at anyone on here. Just wound me up as it happened three times tonight. Guess its due to the influx of cheap ultra bright lights.

Sorry. I needed to get that off my chest. I feel much more relaxed now. Thanks for listening.

Or maybe arm yourself with a helmet mounted light like a searchlight from a WW2 POW camp and shine it in the eyes of every other cycling commuter.

Helmet and rails it is then. Agree 2 is better than one given how exposed I feel on the dark country lanes.

Will take a look at some of the suggestions, Thanks.

Is hanging from the front wheel problematic for the forks?

They seemed rather preoccupied with midgets last time I was there (it was stag do though so as a group of lads we attracted the attentions of those employed in the seedier trades of the city)

According to my 4yr old daughter ‘Anyone with a tattoo on their face has been to prison’. She told us this at volume when spying a rather unfriendly looking man mountain in the supermarket. Without wanting to seem narrow minded, in his case she could well have been correct.

She still needs to release those School Girls though.

Cool? It looks like bloody Wizbit.

Not on RADAR 😉
