don't be a pussy, don't be a dick.

Traditional stereotypical sexist attitude, anyone?

fuck off with your knee jerk assumptions. unlike your directly sexist statement mine was simply a reference to this discussion which was completely on-topic (a rarity for me) insofar as it describes how to behave on the road in an appropriate manner...

(apologies to anyone offended by the post title)

These wise words come from the polo scene (thanks Rik) They describe the balance needed to play good polo. They apply really well to riding a bike on road and the balance between asserting your right to be on the road and in the middle of the lane when you need to, and *allowing *drivers to pass you when it's appropriate and low risk for you.

Transport for London have been debating what advice to give to cyclists around the default riding position and there is some discussion, even disagreement around this issue between cycle trainers, road engineers and other parties. A conference is planned later this month for London boroughs to hammer this out and to make recommendations for changes to the National Standard training syllabus.

I hope to argue the case for a wider acceptance of cyclists in within the traffic stream including showing more cyclists in this position in TfL cycling promotion literature . It would be good to have some pithy phrase to use and that cycle trainers can use (Like 'see, be seen, communicate') to express the pussy/dick balance without offending anyone.

Any ideas?

I'd suggest you stop digging, apologise for the offense and move on. rather than try to fling shit around and hope it sticks to someone else all you'll do is make yourself look like an even bigger idiot.
