Default Bicyclist's toe, sometimes mistaken for gout.

This is a good way of determining if someone is a genuine cyclist or
merely a motorist pretending to be a cyclist, examine their feet.


If their saddle is the correct height a cyclist can only touch the
ground on tip-toe and if they do this frequently, usually with the
same foot, their big toe will become swollen and tender and possibly
end up misaligned. Of course this would not apply to genuine tricycle
users.


Kind of reminds me of stories about checking people for foreskins before
deciding whether to let them go or gas them.

Why would anyone *pretend* to be a cyclist seeing as they are publicly
represented by arseholes like you? When will you ever accept that there are
people who cycle, people who drive, and plenty of people who do both? Why is
it so important for you to *define* people?

How many more times? Why is it then that those who claim to be both
cyclists and motorists spend so much time criticising cyclists but not
motorists on URC, bearing in mind that cars can present a considerable
danger to cyclists but not vice versa?
