Did they steal your significant other or was you significant other a cyclist and left you? Personally nothing my friend. You'd be misrepresenting me if you think I *hate* all cyclists, and - at the end of the day - we all want to see a harmonious tarmac! A common criticism of road cyclists is they're selfish, self-centred and silly. Hoy might be a great example but there's others like Graeme Obree. Sure he won many races and set world records but people remember the finish line, not the starting blocks, where Graeme put mother Obree in tremendous strain by dismantling the family washing machine. We've all seen the pictures of Obree with medals round his expressionless coupon. I guarantee you can't find footage of mother Obree extending her overdraft to financially facilitate the daily trip to the laundrette so her p***k of a son can pedal about pretending to be a fusion between a bike and a washing machine.

That is an accusation that could be levelled at all sportsmen and women can it not? So why cycling in particular? Do you hate Formula One because Lewis Hamiltons father had to work multiple jobs to be able to fund his karting? I also think you should read Obree's story as it is one that explores his mental illnesses and how hard he has fought against them to be able to reach the upper echelons of his sport. The washing machine he took apart belonged to him and his wife BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to bash the laundry in the bath with a wooden spoon probably lead to a weakening of the heart I shouldn't wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 If you're cycling around, sooner or later a woman in a SUV will run you over and kill you. Fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearbuyerbell Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 http://www.farmersjournal.ie/cyclists-should-pay-road-tax-and-insurance-267308 An absolute no-brainer for me. Cyclists are a huge insurance risk. Cyclists pollute the air with their filthy attitude towards normal car drivers. Let's tax the chain off them. If it takes them longer to save up for a car, so-be-it. #carsmatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Fermers moaning about slower road users causing delays lol First of all I'd have no issue with road tax for bikes, it's emissions based afterall (stupid fermers) If they're part of a club then they'll be covered by insurance. If i was taking it easy and traffic was stuck behind me then I'd pull in and let them past (unless they're acting twatty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see from your profile you claim to be "In a strange land" you "try to cycle" and you're suffering from "negative waves". Now I'm not currently working as a psychologist (because its a subject I know nothing about) - but it was crystal clear to me all this biking around is getting you down. Let me paint a picture for you. It's 2001 Lagos Portugal, I'm with my vastly overweight ex-wife Moria, who's lured me into hiring a tandem bike for a daily hire after a bout of attention seeking women's strop. I use some of my Jetski money to hire this heavy bike for a full day. It was 32 degrees, and we cycled this thing for a solid 40 mins. It was the most depressing transportation motions of my life out with the Megabus brand. To this day I can remember peddling up a steep hill leaving Lagos to the west and thinking how much easier this would be in a Lexus F-Sport. I was wasting my life. Thankfully the vendor agreed to an early termination for our hire and charged me only the 1/2 day rate. I used the remaining funds to buy a huge cigar, fridge magnet and some piri piri chicken. Me and Moira have since separated, but we're on speaking terms - since Christmas 2016. You seem to be in a dark place ( much like the Rangers ). Perhaps it's time to sell the bike and put your wellbeing first ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I have a suspicion (no scientific proof) that cyclists slow down normal traffic enough to make a negative contribution to emissions. 1 cyclist slowing down 5 cars by 20 kph for 800 metres = 2 litres of petrol or 2 quid. b*****ds. And they're not actually going anywhere - they're just out for a jolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I say that in all seriousness - although I disagree with the mathematic calculations of the previous two. Transportation is a beautiful thing. The vision of moving from location to location to location - they should make a TV show about it - yet these self-serving sweaty paupers are peddling about with the sole intention of extirpating the enjoyment of those who actively participate in necessary transportation.
