My other bike's a Cervelo...

PPPHHHWWWOOOOAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR .........................................

Is it a plane? Is it a car?

No, IT'S A BIKE!!!

...And even when not riding, they're still organising events, doing catering, and nurturing younger, fitter, more svelte riders.

So next time you pour judgement on some lard arse accountant with a Cervelo, remember they might once have been a champion.

I mean, look at this fat fuck:

yep. isnt that^ one of the guys that run rollapaluza?

Where are you seeing all these fat blokes on 10k road bikes? The only 5 - 10k road bikes I see are the ones I see on the road and they are usually going relatively fast.

Did 40 miles this morning in RP and did not see 1 fat bloke riding a bike better suited to a cat 1.

I had better slim down before turning up at the next West End drinks methinks.................. ;o)))

I'm impressed you can get a bike rack on a Gallardo

I had missed this thread until now, which is a pity.

I am a late middle aged professional who is overweight and who owns a few quite expensive bikes.

May I apologise for taking up road space and riding.

You're a disgrace. Apology rejected.

I'm an accountant and I take offence to that comment you cunt.
I would never be seen riding a colnago, they're cheap and shit.

It's alllll about the Look 595.

Get you're facts straight before you go spouting diatribe like this.

haha touched a nerve!? :)

you're hardly the stereotypical accountant, you've gotta admit....

i would loooove to be able to afford a Look 595.

Clive, you can earn my apology by buying me a Cervelo. Or organising another RPLZ club run.

No objection to overweight, middle-aged, professional men owning expensive bikes. Hardly young or svelte myself. Just a worry that cycling is becoming the new golf...

Now is the time you bring out the forum sprint time sheet and wave it in the face of anyone slower than you. Doing that "get in ma belly" quote while patting your stomach is, of course, optional.

hippy

How did the TT go?

Looks like I won't be driving west tonight. Will think of a way to get the bike bag to you.

Golf is a waste of land. If all golfers started cycling and golf courses were turned into velodromes, race circuits, mtb parks I wouldn't complain.

What do we want: To Ban Golf!
When do we want it: Now!

Smashed it. Quite happy with my performance. Scarlett came out to watch me suffer which was nice.

Like I said, I don't mind picking it up on the Tube or something.

i like golf. it's a good way to drink beer in the sun with your mates for 4 hours, while sledging each other mercilessly.

I do that at the pub just fine thanks and I don't need any poxy clothes, clubs or other accessories.

I have had a couple of drunk golf rounds that have been fun though.

poxy clothes? shorts and t-shirt ftw.

pubs are great and all, but lots of women are more likely to let their blokes go off and play golf than just fuck off to the pub with their mates for 4 hours ;)

i enjoy both cycling and golf, and am neither fat nor middle aged, or an accountant/dentist :)

The worst thing about golf - and there are many bad things - is the attitude that pervades all golf clubs.

Suburban England at its very worst.

I thought it was a bit more posh than that. Maybe that's private clubs only?
I'm not the type of guy to be bullied away from the pub.
I'm now fat and middle-aged so I guess I should study dentistry now..

i haven't played in this country so i couldn't comment.

i used to just play on public courses (ie cheap, run by the local council, you don't don't have to be a member, don't have to wear the clothes and all that crap). if you remove the pretentiousness it's a vastly different thing.

I thought it was a bit more posh than that. Maybe that's private clubs only?

yeah, pretty much. the course i played on most has a dress code of "no work boots, no singlets, no playing without a shirt" :)

That's me out then^ ;)

you'd have to supply your own midget caddy, as well. actually you might need more than one.

I guess the private clubs would supply these?

I believe the best ones do, yes.
