Public Inquiry: Get Britain Cycling

scottmac, for someone whose given up riding their bike, you spend an awful lot of time on a cycling forum telling people you've given up riding your bike.

what do you gain from this? what pleasure does it bring you? what are you trying to achieve?

are you here to let us all know we should give up riding our bikes as you have done?
or in the hope that being here you will help change your mind and return you to riding again?

I'm puzzled, and perplexed as you seem to bring nothing to the discussion apart from a relentless pessimism in the face of ongoing guarded optimism..

I'm a realist, not a pessimist.

I ride my bike on dirt tracks, due to being forced off the road.

"ongoing guarded optimism" will have us all on cycle tracks.

Am I not allowed to use the forum?
