TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Share People need to start to enjoy their riding, the races should also not be labelled as "races" anymore. can't you pay an entry fee, race hard, and get enjoyment from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZRider Posted January 5, 2012 Share can't you pay an entry fee, race hard, and get enjoyment from that? I do. And when I want to muck about in the mountains I do that to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Share I do. And when I want to muck about in the mountains I do that to. Same here. Even when I want a nice leisurely road ride, I do that as well. What I think people like the great and sainted dingle should rather do, is to stop trying to put us all in the same neat and tidy little box. Lemme be me, and when it comes to how I get enjoyment on a bicycle, stay out of it, and go get your bicycle related enjoyment your own way. Stop trying to force your ways on me.

TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Share What seems to be your problem ? I am tired of people telling me to conform to their idea of how to get enjoyment of a sport/pastime/hobby that I love. The generic people, and the generic me. Get it? Please don't come beat me and stab me with your fancy Zombie Apocalypse inspired knives, ok?

DubbelBuys Posted January 5, 2012 Share Yes in SA everyone's a pro... Everyone's car is faster, house is more expensive, has more money, has a sexier girlfriend has a bigger penis, knows better etc. Tipiese klein mannetjie sindroom...

TNT1 Posted January 5, 2012 Share With a hint of consistency, which you seem to lack, if you have a personal issue, use the PM function and we can see how groot your bek really is Guy, I said as much, I have no personal issue. I meant a generic/proverbial "people". It seems like every other day someone is saying how to get enjoyment on a bicycle you have to do x,y, and fockin z. All I'm saying is some of us can get enjoyment from any bicycle in a number of ways. Riding hard, racing, falling off, riding slowly, many ways. My sincerest apologies that I quoted your post as an example of this. Edited January 5, 2012 by TNT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if they take the word RACE out of most events, people will actually seat enjoying themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big H* Posted January 5, 2012 Share In Europe they cycle, in South Africa we race. Different attitude, Different priorities. Witkop soos in blond?????? In South Africa we have great publicity to promote so called new products and to make rather mediocre cyclists believe they can race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
