Beating People on the commute who have a better bike

Have you not seen the cleaning instructions for Di2 Ed? They are dry clean only.

To be far he has the Hipster bike push down pretty well, by the look of things. Has murtle been giving him 1 to 1 lessons?

(smilie, winky, whatever)

i can imagine alan lord sugar probably has anyone who overtakes him shot...

i love my commute up dartmouth park hill on my 79 gear inches of fixed gear bike. especially when anyone who isnt a roadie or on a proper mtb walks. one of the most conflicting dilemnas that i experience over taking someone then deciding to stop for traffic, or just RLJ. fortunately i rarely cycle during rush hours....

If the story teller is to be believed (and there is no reason not to believe) then the thought of Skully lurking in the shadows in and around the sugar daddy then I would imagine most people would wish to be as far away as fast as their fixie bikes would carry them.

I believe there is more stories to be told.

LOL @ Will

I've got a lot in common with Alan Sugar as I actually parked in the same place as he did and even bought a pair of gloves from the same shop he's collecting the Pina from.
Checks sugar bowl for signs of Skully

That's the one and with irrefutable evidence of parking on the pavement :)

How did this pic come about? Did someone on here take it?

Scoble?

If you are on this forum, fucking admit you felt the need to pass a girl because she passed your ass.

Kinda related

... I was in front of this girl on a racing bike who was drafting me ... I wasn't racing her ... just cruising through the traffic and occasionally we were chatting when waiting for the traffic lights ... she seemed to be quite nice and was very friendly, quite pretty girl, Pretty sure she liked me.

... then for some reason I decided to sprint for a set of traffic lights and inadvertantly dropped her ... bollox.

no your dad.

You ain't my dad for the simple reasons ...

You can't roll a ciggie while riding up Dorchester Road drunk.

You don't swear in rage because Valentino Rossi came second and not first in the motoGP.

You do not know what an "adz" is.

You do not have a arch lever folder which contains a "wood grain reference".

You don't ride to work on a knakered racing bike which is sporting rust spots on the frame but has a full 105 groupset which is in perfect working order.

And you are not my dad.

now that is skill!

Sorry first post... i meant this is skill!

If they have carbon and you are on steel, you must beat them ... it invalidates their material choice ... and doubles the humiliation.

+1

never had that problem, I have the best bike.

"Beating People on the commute who have a better bike"

I have yet to meet someone with a better bike, just sayin' - Purple glitter paint >> lycra.

That is all.

never had that problem, I have the best bike.

So, who has the best bike?

Not the point ...

I will give a guy on a carbon racer hell on a shopper with a basket until my legs give out.

It is always the rider and not the bike.

thats nothing,

my dad taught me to say weinmann vanquer at 10 without getting into trouble

my dad marched me into the headmaster mr Bagshaws office at 10 with long trousers on and said
"my boy dosent wear shorts anymore- hes 10" and told me to carry on

my dad used to ride fixed gear bikes made of bits of gas pipe before most of the people on this forum were even a drop of spunk

That is nothing ....

My dad pulled off 50mph on a Rotrax down Wimbourne Road before there was traffic lights (this shit is actually true according to my uncle who is a master of the motorcycle).

My dad got given a bike by Eddie Merckx from the future (In reality my dad got given a roadtrax frame because he was standing in the right place, he had campag nuovo before you were born).

My dad taught Lance Armstrong and Jan Ullrich how to sprint, even though he never left the UK until 2008 (this is up for debate)

My dad used to play Road Rash and the mega drive would admit defeat in an instant.

I ask you,

Did your dad throw a cast Iron kitchen sink in anger?

he did worse that than that.

at least one of those ^^ is fictitious, anyway

thats nothing,

my dad used to commute to london from blackpool, come home on fridays stinking of special brew off the train, and still have time to read me and my sister a story.

my dad used to do three allottments at once when were kids.

until he had to stop smoking because of a heart attack, my dad smoked two packs of marlboro reds every day.

My mum can beat both your dads.

My mum can beat both your dads.

how? has she got 'mutha' tattooed on here arms?

None of those are fiction .. lance armstrong use to bow outside our house at least once a day until my dad decided he maybe worthy of the teachings

Sunseeker turned their whole factory the other way around on his say so.

He bought me books about science and engineering so I didn't end up a thicko, and brought me back gems from potholing.

He worked all day building boats and was a barman at night,

He taught me how to kick arse playing pool.

My dad ain't bald.

Still got a flowing mullet of power. When the quickening arrives, thunder and lighting will fill the sky ... and then the tournament will begin.

yeah not bad,

but my dad didnt buy us toys, he made them- out of wood.

once, our neighbour pissed him off, so dad put up a 6 ft fence right in between the rear of our semi detached houses, then stood in front of him and said -"problem?"

my dad knows exactly where to find every size of countersunk screws going in the garage, and has the tools to use them too.
