www.bike99.com/realcyclist.html I scored a genuine 79 points. I'm afraid that over the past few days, a far more accurate and speedy method of identifying cyclists. The thread started by 'spindrift', or maybe Magna, contains a link to a video which CLEARLY shows a couple of things, and implies some others. The CLEAR things are attempted criminal damage, a S5 public order offence, and an incandescent with rage cyclist. The POSSIBLE things are a breach of the HC (not the law, remember). So, the identification method is which reaction you have to this thread. Are you mildly bemused by the furore, and firmly of the belief that the cyclist is inflammatory and stupid, or are you one of the spit-flecked foaming at the mouth loons who want to see some poor ******* lose his job for what was at worst a harmless error of judgement. There ya go, you're a cyclist. Of should I have said psycholist? |

Woman: "Are you looking at my legs?" Me: "No." Woman: "Well what the ****ing hell have you been staring at?" Me: "Errr, sorry, I was just admiring your gorgeous Pashley, I hadn't even noticed your legs!") |

burtthebike twisted the electrons to say:
Just crept in with 71 Just crept into "Real Good" with 47. I've never managed to identify someone as a result of their bicycle, but I did once get mis-identified as someone else as a result of my bike! (2007 Dunwich Dynamo, someone pulls alongside my Trice QNT and says "Hello Dave! pause Oh, sorry, I thought you where Dave Larrington!". -- These opinions might not even be mine ... Let alone connected with my employer ... |
