I had gotten over it, but last week a childhood friend who is a Dr in a gov hospital was nearly ventilated(healthy 26year old), she is still on oxygen and dexa so ya it erked me again with people being dumb. Will walk away from the hub and other social media for a few weeks and get over it again though so you don't have to worry.

 

Dave for better of worse your voice IS needed to balance some of the flippant behaviour spouted on the Hub ....

 

 

It is NOT about some "soapbox".

 

 

We have a national state of emergency, an official lockdown on holiday travel.  And yet the cool kids carry on like there is no risk.

 

 

 

Dave your input IS essential to keep some sort of balanced input.

I feel ya. Have also had a few people I know get hit with the covid. One colleague passed away. So believe me when I say I feel that pain.

on the other side of that coin a chum of mine spent three days in hospital undergoing covid and other tests. Turns out he's developed asthma. Doc is attributing it to a number of issues including using a mask when out training and all day in his work environment. He's a little over weight and hasn't been watching his diet and work stress. It triggers when he's trying to ride up hills and be socially responsible. As the doc explained, it's not for everyone. The fitter you are the more resilient your body is too these stresses. Breathing in dirt and sweat is affecting people differently, especially those who haven't been wearing that sort of ppe for years. Remember many people are only exercising for an hour per day when it's convenient for them. Not everyone has been able to adapt.

If you just keep in mind that we're all different and that this pandemic is affecting us all in different ways then you may find it easier to be a little more relaxed, patient and tolerant.

 

Fortunately this is a relatively safe place on a Monday

 

We should all know our bodies and when it's saying hey that's a little too far.

No offense taken.

Thanks to you guys. I got majority of my friends sending me messages saying all cyclists are morons and arrogant bastards. You guys are one of the biggest reasons cycling is getting a rep for being terrible right now. Stop the group rides and if you’re going to continue your antics please don’t post it on social media( yea not the only ones but your one of most distinct ones)

Aaaaalmost Friday ....

 

Let me get some popcorn ...

 

 

I mean, I still remember the mob attack last time I spoke up about some rider behaviour on public roads ....

 

 

Brand awareness is a nice concept .... less so when your behaviour is considered a-social by the majority of road users ....

A honest question without an agenda:

 

Does someone know any 2 cyclists that rode together or in a cycling group where a virus cluster could be identified afterwards / or where there is a suspicion that it is where they got the virus?

 

No way I will ride in a group of friends currently, but I just realised that I dont know of any - whereas I would have expected to hear more rumours about such suspicions by now?

I am sure if someone was able to trace it back to the Argus they would have, so dont think so.

Ah the ides of July...

First cyclists are all morons who don't obey traffic laws.

Cyclists are arrogant because they don't wave, greet

Cyclists are Deekheads because they shave their legs

Cyclists are orsesoles because they create traffic jams  in mid morning traffic and ride two abreast while being happy.

Pure Savage are orsesoles because they ride together and don't wear masks.

My friends say I'm a orseole because Pure Savage rides without masks...

 

Pinch me , because I feel like I'mliving in an episode of Monty Pythons Flying Circus....

 

PS: Do you okes have membership forms because I'm liking you rebel scum over these imperialist trooper types

General comment, not aimed at Savages.

 

We all get judged by the actions of a few.

and what has happened to a rational discussion about cycling and coronavirus?....we seem to have put both in the same bracket....best not even have a quiet private sneeze in the peloton of two or even on your own...

people don't want to do simple things or behaviour change to help....and that also goes for the information imparted by the "power of google"..ps keep cycling 

coronavirus is a new disease...and its going to be around a while...
