Roons Posted August 18, 2009 Share I went out on a Cyclelab group ride on Saturday morning and realised why it is that roadies don't greet... they're too busy concentrating on staying alive' date=' that was my experience anyway Taxis, traffic, skinny wheels... it was all a little overwhelming [/quote'] Did you lose a bet?

HeartCoppi Posted August 18, 2009 Share Jokes aside - whether we like it or not roadie or mtb - we are perceived as a community of cyclist and anything that we do reflects on us as as a group. Thank you ND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Drew Posted August 18, 2009 Share @Roons.... no I was waiting for you to EVENTUALLY join me at Breedts Nek, I figured that was never gonna happen so my next best bet was to dust off my road bike @tarboy.... you're welcome, anytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaSH82 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Nancy.. you are funny.. . But staying alive on a ride is a definite bonus.. Whatever next?! I bet you he was wearing a helmet too and riding in single file before he stopped! ?

Taps Posted August 18, 2009 Share Whatever next?! I bet you he was wearing a helmet too and riding in single file before he stopped! Glad I'm not the only one who rides single file when out riding on my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I'm not the only one who rides single file when out riding on my own I get cramps when I do that. That is why I ride to a breast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FowlStArt Posted August 18, 2009 Share we spread out when we c the cycle lab groups, cos if 1 of them actually greets back, we might fall off hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasping Posted August 18, 2009 Share I think from now on we need to stop this gratuitous waving - it is dangerous on those skinny tyres. Keep both hands on the wheel at all times! Now we have the "muddy children" thinking we like them. Do you see what a momentary lapse of concentration will do for us? Come on Guys - don't encourage them to leave the mud and dirt. It's people like this that drag us down, laugh at our outfits and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutt Posted August 18, 2009 Share If you are in my are I would do the same. But the most amazing thing I did see this morning was a BMW using an indicator. He was driving over the circle instead of around it but atleast he was indicating. My good man are you suggesting that the Bavarian schnellmobile actually comes fitted with thos ghastly trinkets??

Gasping Posted August 18, 2009 Share BRILLIANT! I drive one, so I know you are right! I used to indicate when I first got the car. I then received an email from my local garage telling me to stop - people are not sure what to do when a BMW uses the indicators. It confuses them - I was told to conform! Und Schnell about it!
