Roadies: the Daily Mail Reader of cycling

Bump for new season of loaded tories not saying hello when you pass them on the lanes, on their 5k bikes.

Yep, so many wankers in the Surrey Hills yesterday. Not a smile, nod, wave - nothing. Blurgh.

Everyone was smiley and waving in Kent yesterday. I was trying to ignore them but they insisted on being nice.

I think I'm the problem.

Probably because people in kent don't all think they're a member of the TdF peloton, unlike those in and around Guildford.

That's true, though where I am there is barely a fixedgear in sight which is sad. I went up to Kingston for the Head race the other day, dear god I've never seen so many bikes in my life.

6pt you're so not the problem.

Not saying hello isn't the problem, it's just a symptom.

I had a nice moment recently with saying hello... cruising through South Herts with a couple of mates on a Sunday ride, we ran into a Gregarios Cyclista club run coming the other way. 10+ riders. The whole group erupted into a storm of good-natured cheering and waving as they passed us. Really brightened up our morning. Top blokes.

I had some fun with 3 roadies the other day, going past oval and they had been in a line along from brixton all with massive gurns on. I caught up alongside the front guy who then passes the stop line at the lights to wait right out ahead, I stop at the line with the other riders and for a laugh go "oh noes he jumped the light" and then the lights change and I fly off towards elephant overtaking him and leaving the 3 of them. The front guy is then mega pissed so goes onto the wrong side of the road as hard as he can upto kennington station and then jumps the lights only to stop again noticing I'm not jumping lights and his friends aren't riding hard lol

It's 'in the lanes', you common toad.

Well last night off the OKR I saw a version of this billboard that read (in much bolder type) 'M.A.M.I.L Ready'.

I told you so. General Motors think cycling is the new golf.

Then again, I just posted in 'Is it time ...?' thread that we are all friends, so I should really delete this thread.

But roadies.

I saw another billboard for that car which said summat along the lines of 'For sneaking her in without her parents knowing'. Basically, their target market is middle-aged pederasts. Should sell well in this Britain.

Do aspirational Golfers drive Vauxhalls?

I keep reading this as 'for sneaking it in her......'

Im not proud of my reading dyslexia right now.

If the Titleist cap fits ...

Did that bloke get his £800 back in the end?

@Skülly you're just getting old and less (fewer?) accepting.

They had TV ads for this car featuring the bike rack in 2012.

And that's a mountain bike.

Just a bit sceptical of shitty urban 4x4s being advertised with cycling. Those cars are fucking bane of our lives. Driven mostly by selfish twats, wastefully upgraded and dangerous to other road users ... oh wait... roadies...

I think the word you're after is cunt.
Most "roadies" i knoe aren't.
