For anyone who is still interested, I hear this article is the authority on skitching:

There's a pretty sweet example of it here: Which is where I got the idea from I think:
@ 2 minutes 38.

Although I think it's harder on a fixed gear.
Seeing as I quite politely asked the question, I'm surprised at all the macho big man answers. But in hindsight it's probably de facto on this forum.

Apologies if it's already been discussed, I tried a search and nothing came up.
I'm starting to become alot more confident and "aggressive" when cycling.
I've started to use vehicles to lean on at lights so I don't need to unclip and can't track stand their duration.
I've also started using goods vehicles, vans, "utes" and some cars to hold onto for boosts up hills and at lights to gain speed fast.
I feel a bit cheeky doing it and I still feel a little underconfident doing it.
What do people think? Is it bad etiquette? Is it clever use of environment? Is it fracking dangerous?
I'm not saying I do it all the time, just when the opportunity arises. As a driver myself, I don't think I'd have a problem with a handsome guy on a shit hot fixie leaning on my car.....

I recommend we "redefine" a mile to use the Roman system:
Roman mile
The Romans were first to use a unit of long distance mille passuum (literally "a thousand paces" in Latin, each pace being two steps). It denoted a distance of 1,000 paces or 5,000 Roman feet, and is estimated to be about 1,479 metres (1,617 yards). This unit is now known as the Roman mile.
This would increase our total by 10% -.-
Still not as effective as a "Barclays" mile.....

This is silly, we still have less than 50 members logging miles, and we're @ 55 team members and in the top bracket.
Let's go back to the sub 50 bracket and win that? We're shooting ourselves in the foot by competing with 49 in the 50+ bracket.
