  • Very much agree with this article, I can't stand the Billy bollocks types who ride like they own the Road and then clutter up the place chatting shit about how they 'crushed the segment' etc.

    The reason I enjoy cycling is because if it's non macho nature (pro cycling excluded), I don't have to play with a team, it's just me and I can do what I want.

    That's not to say though I don't want more people to cycle or I begrudge the people I mentioned above. I want everyone to cycle, it'll make everyone better Road users for it. But I just don't understand why people have to get some have to get so aggressive about it, just be more chill mate.

    Only part if the article I thought he got wrong was:

    "A classic south London ride (over Crystal Palace, out to Oxted) has become a miserable slog of unsmiling, un-nodding pink and black Lycra-clad sports cyclists. "

    au contraire my friend, I think you'll find its full of nodders...
