Don't you guys talk about cycling at all? It's all only about cyclists.

There are a few sad lonely losers who take their anger at being sad lonely losers out on cyclists (with chisels). We laugh at them. Ask a sensible cycling question and you will get a sensible answer.

The regular posters seem to be laughing at each other, around a not especially funny joke. Ask a sensible cycling question and you will get a sensible answer. Yes, that's what I said. Panaracer Pasela is the best tyre. OK, looks good. I recently replaced some 700C tyres with Schwalbe City Jets - only £8 each, remarkably low rolling resistance, very light but little to go on for decent braking, and one possibly avoidable puncture in 6 months. SON Deluxe is the only way to go lighting. Mmmmm. Weight would be an issue for me there. I ride a Dawes Karakum. But not for you :-) (nice bike otherwise tho!) Picking up my own anchor tomorrow - old HT mountain bike to replace one that was stolen. -- Cheers, Rob |

When certain people moved in to talk about cyclists, it was difficult for them to continue talking about cycling. -- Cheers, Rob No, most of us are both cyclists and motorists.

It is good for utility transport, but I get the impression Dawes spent all the money on the frame and threw on whatever components were lying around the factory floor. |

Wilko standard Schwalbe Big Apple RaceGuard. Lidl rechargeable LEDs Something cheap using AAA cells from Planet X Tesco Best. £50 on eBay You don't have to spend big money to have a bicycle. That's why some people associate cycling with people who can't afford a car (or get a driving license) - they don't understand that sometimes bikes are more appropriate or just more fun. Quite likely they never had a half-decent bike or a clue how to ride it as a kid, or friends to go off with on adventures. However I would occasionally bump into some kids who used to be mad keen on bikes of all sorts, and come into the shop often to drool over the latest gizmos - a few years later they were into cars in just the same way, and totally uninterested in bikes. Some of us are fortunate to still enjoy bikes despite having been motorists for decades. :-) |
