What do big knobbed men drive?

Putting it like that, it seems like a genuine question to big knobbed men. I mean the stereotype.

If under endowed men drives sports cars, what do big fellas drive?

Aussie bashing is our national sport, mainly 'cos you keep beating us at our national sports.

...and abbos. Don't forget the abbos

Didn't wanna mention this but coming home from late night gig and had one woman not looking where she was going on Regent Street swear at me. Then I had a crack head give me shit in the middle of the road with no pedestrian lights or anything. Then there were these two guys that decided to cross when the man had turned red. I set off not really going anywhere near either of them and one the them said, "fuck off with your fucking bike". This straw that broke the camels back. In all cases it was folk in the middle of the road that chose not to look but felt because I was on a bike I was fair game. In all sitiuatations, if I were in a car, I doubt anyone would said a word.

Cycling is still a niche activity. And for some reason folk think as a cyclist, you're weak.

Of course there are some epic idiots in all forms of transport. But there is a lemming nature with cyclists. If you go through a red with a load of cyclists behind you, watch the majority follow and stream through. I think it's these sitiuations that vindicate ill feeling from the motorists/ped towards 'them' i.e. those that indulge in this stange activity and wear melt clothes.

If you wanna stop being hated start thinking about letting motorists out when they are wanting to pull out from side roads or wanting to change lanes (if safe to) forceably changes dynamics in their heads. Just watch the look of surprise when you do stop. 98% of the time there is a thank you. And they'll look out for you further down the road.

Being hit by a bicycle or motorbike doesn't hurt as much as a car?

Renault lagunas

Automatics so they can sit with their legs as far apart as possible.

this thread has got an inferiority complex.
you are the future,
these dinosaurs sitting in the queues are the ones with the inferiority complex,

keep riding past them, when they have bled themselves dry paying £1.30 a litre to feed the petrol addiction, atrophied so far that the obesity has spread through their childrens and their childrens children they will be devolved out of existence,
no one will bother with these trivial arguments about red light jumping,
because red lights wont mean anything there wont be any gaps between the dinosaurs,

then you can keep riding, free, healthy, independent,

and they will say
" why didnt we listen"

Dammit

"fuck off with your fucking bike".

Company cars or hire cars or no cars. Because we don't need to make a statement with a material possession.

Robert Elms is a cunt.

Bit strong.

Cycling over the wilds of Walthamstow Marshes this afternoon, I noticed 2 instances of "ban cyclists" graffitied on walls. Done by a frenzied walker with a grudge, presumably.

Bit strong.

Nope. He is a cunt.

Nope. He is a cunt.

Have you met him?

I have and he wasn't a cunt at all, in fact he was a perfectly nice human being, so far as human beings go.

What a nightmare ride Multi Grooves.. I would take issue with the idea that cycling is a niche activity though.. The whole problem is that it no longer is. When it was, you were considered a freak but could generally get out of trouble any time of the day or night anywhere in London, before registering on anyone’s brain. Attitudes have hardened now and many motorists judge all cyclists by the lowest common denominator they have come across, including the rider on here who smashed someone's tail light.

The people I work with project their hatred of all cyclists onto me and inform me at length of RLJs etc observed on their way to work. They also think it would be my own fault if I die because it's really too dangerous on the road and also I don't wear a helmet. This attitude has escalated to a quite ferocious level in the past year, along with the slaughter on the roads. Peak oil can't come soon enough.

Positive advice at the end of your post.. That's a great message. Thanks.

The other day I was riding along minding my own business when the passenger in a black BMW X5 offered me a freshly opened tin of beer. The trouble was they were traveling far to fast for me to accept their kind offer so I let it pass me buy so to speak!.

such an annoying thing happened on the way to work this morning

this dude in a spanky new volvo comes up to over take me, but then just goes like 1mph faster and the hole time hes indercating to go left, so im like what the hell he is doing? guessing he didnt realise and was being care full overtaking me maybe, then he just cuts right in front of me to turn into his driveway, right in front like 2/3 metres in front

....what the f**k???

hardly any cars about, he had plenty of time to just wait behind for a second and turn off behind me, just a long road with houses on the side, i was doing like 20mph as well, i had to skid and drift to the right just to not hit him and not get run over, man if i wasn't on my fixed that can skid easily i think i would of got hit

damn ass hole, 1 of like 4 times i ever stuck my middle finger up, dude deserved a lot more than a finger

why i hate drivers ^

.

Shagged a shag.

I just love those drivers that overtake you then stop behind that parked car to allow that oncoming traffic through but don't give a stuff that you've nearly rear ended them or at best forced to a dead stop.
