Be clear: Are you REALLY claiming that cyclists have nothing to do with cycling? Most of the time, it is perfectly correct that a person (called a "cyclist" by some people) is not actually cycling. Think before you answer. Do not ask for more than you can offer. |

Little wonder that they are detested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBOlo4t3JtM Nothing to do with cycling. Cyclists are nothing to do with cycling? Who'da thortit? Pro cyclists have no more to do with utility cyclists than F1 drivers have to do with utility drivers. Using your 'logic' F1 cars should have to pass the UK MOT before they are allowed on the track. Be clear: Are you REALLY claiming that cyclists have nothing to do with cycling? Think before you answer. I am saying racing has nothing to do with transport. That much is true but it wasn't the question and is not relevant to the OP. In exactly the same way, F1, Speedway and all the rest of the boredom-fest that is "motor-sport" also has nothing to do with transport. All very well, but that doesn't mean that cycling is nothing to do with cycling (which is the essence of your claim). It might all be different if this NG's purpose were limited to utility (transport) cycling. But it isn't and indeed, the NG name indicates the opposite of that. |

Boy racers are the most annoying, with 42 per cent of UK drivers naming them as their number one irritation, but 41 per cent of those surveyed named drivers who don’t say thanks as the type they most dislike. Drivers who don't indicate are mine. |
