Watch out for those slippery lines on the roads

here you go Pip

oh i see, starts with some sweets and before you know it i'll get an invite back to see your pet "Gerbil"... its alright man.. i can live with the cough

you don't have to have the sweet dude! come round tho, yeah? I do have a new pet budgie i'd like you to see....

I'm not suggesting people get training. But if you are falling for things like road markings and man holes you're simply a bad cyclist and need to either get training or slow down. I don't cycle slowly, in fact I'm never over taken by anyone, so I'm quicker than most, I very, very rarely stop at red lights, etc.

But I think I know what I'm doing. I have good city cycling craft. I know how to take ownership of the road and where my limitations are. If you are only discovering the fact that these obsticles exist and don't know how to deal with them in a safe, smooth and effective manner, then you need to learn how to. Much of this is learned through expereince but try not to die in the process. The 'fixie' community will only consider you a frikin idiot if they see you riding like that and no one will think you are cool. Well, except for oneself, who is clearly as deluded about how cool they are as they are about how good a rider they are.

Peace

Watch out for the snow, it's slippy!

Great.

Great.
Tisk Tisk Miro, it seems you're only reading and responding to the bits you want to. For shame. Watch out for people on forums who post like me, they can cause you to stop being an otherwise decent intelligent poster. Peace

I'm not suggesting people get training. But if you are falling for and indeed making love to things like road markings and man holes, you're simply a sexual deviant/pervert/freak (delete as appropriate) and need to either get aversion therapy or slow down and find the relevant forum to discuss your needs and desires.

I couldn't agree more.
