:D, Yup, but everyone wants to give something a label.

I can understand why people believed in god(s) when the rest of the world wasn't explained by science.

for example the sun moving across the sky.

"Apollo is pulling it across the sky with his chariot."

In ancient Greece, I would have accepted this as fact, because I would have not had another explanation and I would have know that horses can pull very big things across land, so why wouldn't some Horses made by god pull the sun?

Know I know the world is hemi-spherical and rotates on an axis and the sun moves relatively across the sky. Why would I now believe in apollo?

You can do that to any belief system, doesn't make it a true representation (as can be seen above...so long as you can look past the trainwreck line-spacing)

And yes Tynan, I do believe in life after death. If you're going to rip me to shreds with your clever words then do it already, the suspense is killing me...

Atheism doesn't say that and it isn't a belief. Atheism is the rejection of the idea of a creator.

The big band theory suggests that all matter/energy (we know they are interchangeable quantities) existed at a zero point then expanded from then on (which is what that poster is referring to and has nothing to do with atheism).

The fact that we have proof (red shift of stars/galaxies moving away from us) is evidence that this theory is correct... I am not an astronomer and this is my understanding (from what, I have read and what I have been explained).

The fact that scientific theory changes over time, it is because like any form of learning is an iterative process. Just because we do not know everything about the workings of the universe at this point in time, does in no way prove that we will not discover these things at a later date.

And everything I have said about science has Nothing to do with atheism.

I can believe that all matter, energy is made out of very small pieces of penn pasta (I don't) and still not believe in a God, these ideas are not scientific as I would have no proof of this, however as I reject the idea of a creator, I would be still an atheist.

please explain what went through god's mind when he did this:

The good old answer - "It's a Test of Faith!"

Poor sods.

no, they just look even worse... they look shite with a 700c.. :)

I was thinking of getting one and building it up if I ever decided to try racing track.

I think those vigorelli frames look fucking shite

they look shite if you stick a 650c wheel like that pratt.

That's the voice of a man with a very clear idea about what gay looks like...

he called me gay, after accusing me of failing to chat up the barmaid....very odd logic.

Then the gay cyclists.

According to my (ex) pool team's vice captain,

"all guys that ride a bike in spandex or whatever must be fucking benders, look how gay he looks".

Never ridden one, but langsters look like decent bikes. Seriously wouldn't give a shit about individuality factor ... all bike have two wheels, some cranks, handlebars etc, the rest is just window dressing.

Rip

Thanks, pretty damn good tune.

My dad's girlfriend believes in ghosts ... for crying out loud.

I learnt not to give a shit about religious nutcases a long time ago.

There are people everywhere (thickos) who believe in total bollox whether that will be ghosts, God, vampires, Odin (though Norse mythology is the only religion I would ever worship because at least they had good characterisation), Xenu, Fairies etc.

Always ride at least 1 metre from the edge, for everybodies safety. Means you dont swerve out for potholes and get rear ended by cars.

Not always possible around here. So I ride in a straight line. Usually only have to move a few inches to get round pot holes.

If I wasn't on my mountain bike beater, I wouldn't have been able to put the stoppers quick enough.

Don't go down the inside of a anything if it has it's left hand indicator going.

Don't go down the inside of anything if it can turn at all. Almost killed myself on Thursday because the guy didn't indicate until a second before turning.

you all need to wear bike helmets :] ....hope you're okay

Been knocked off twice, ended up in hospital both times ... wore a helmet for a couple of months then after a while I think "I hate wearing this helmet" and take it off.

another newbie here, just managed to pinch this off my old man and will be looking to "fix" it as soon as funds allow :)

Don't change a thing mate.

Really? My impression from reading the site was that he was the ultimate fuckwit.

fratboy = fuckwit

Being an arsehole is part of the role

Tucker Max?

I always had the impression that Tucker Max was the ultimate frat boy, almost to the extent he was some sort of fraternity urban myth. Apparently I have read (can't remember where) that if a potential employer found out that you were associated with him in anyway you might as well give up any hopes of that position.

That's Scott Alexander, the biggest helmet ever(behind OOL of course!)

Check his site - http://www.scottalexander.tv/welcome.php

All the gear no idea.

I really don't think it looks terrible to have 700c wheels where 27 should be.

I have had some guy hoot at me, lower his window and then tell me "watch where you are going", while cycling in a straight line down a straight road, less than 1 metre from the curb.

I think 'ononelangster' tribute tshirts should be printed and worn to all lfgss events.
Possibly with one of his finest rants lovingly transcribed on the back.

I would have one.

shimano???? oh dear

Seriously what is wrong with Shimano? Every bit of Shimano kit I have ever owned has stood upto years of abuse.
