Roadies: the Daily Mail Reader of cycling

As I said to Stickles Fred on facebook last week...

"I'm sorry cyclists die in every city, but it doesn't help to validate your point. If you're going to write me something like that I expect you to write all the other people who have done death to locals tees (which are made in a sense of turf wars) which you don't seem to "get". Also try writing to bands like the killers or megadeth if you so strongly oppose such wordplay."

As an actual surfer I think all the locals only stuff is beyond childish. I know you skate and if you have to assoiate yourself with something you see as cool to make yourself feel cool then go ahead. But for me slogans like this, attitudes such as locals only are just so lame. The kids from dogtown were kids, hence all the childish behaviour, you are a 30+ year old man... Death to roadies is so lame, I have to agree that with the number of cycle deaths on the roads it's just distasteful. But I know what you're like so I guess you love being the at the centre of the controversy. But it's probably the reason everyone left fgldn and you keep on needing recruit new 'riders'.
