Yo-Yo Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 that did that thing to me or my friends back at that time which was a thing. I hope you read this as it effected me and now I'm sharing to validate my feelings and allow a cathartic release despite the person not actually living here or being a cyclist. Know that it was special / against my morals / dangerous / awesome Just know that I: - respect you- love you- hate you- feel sorry for you- don't think about you- had coffee with you- am you- want your number so I can txt you cos I can't find you on tinder- other (delete as applicable depending which person you are and when you entered my world) Thanks / Cheers / Regards
shaper Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Sometimes people should take a deep breath and think before they post... especially the winging type of posts!!
Mudsimus Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 .. especially the winging type of posts!!Yes. Because no one actually cares.
Dirkitech Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 As annoying or beneficial as X amount of "hey you" posts may be, this is just trolling

Slowbee Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 There is relevance to this. Sometimes one needs to engage the brain. Maybe look beyond the post. Look at what the post is trying to achieve. The one this morning, while aimed at one cyclist was a great reminder that while we think the lights we have on our bikes are enough, we could always do with more.
Jewbacca Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I've kind of been waiting for this post..... In a sarcastic, spiteful way it's quite funny. I have learned to live and let live (mostly) but it doesn't make me snigger less to myself. As much as I do believe guys should be made aware/reminded that lights and reflective clothes while riding in the dark are mandatory and not a hindrance, I don't think a 'he did this and I did that and he did this and I did that and I was offended' post is constructive. Rather go with 'Guys, just a reminder that lights and reflectors will save your life and going stealth on the roads can and will result in your death'... But then I'm not particularly in tune with todays social agenda so meh.... (I have learned to say 'Meh') Edit: I see Slowbee beat me too it... albeit a tad more user friendly
Rocket-Boy Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I seriously thought "how many of these damn posts can there be?!?!" before I opened this.Welcome relief!

Maybe it would have served its purpose better if directed to Dear Cycling Buddies, and structured as a general good practice guide rather than targeting some anonymous person.
