Richey Edwards Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 More importantly, who the f**k even sits a cycling proficiency test? I spent most of my childhood cycling, I don't need some shitey test to tell me I'm a proficient cyclist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only question I got wrong in my US drivers licence theory test many years ago (in Seattle, by co-incidence), was what to do approaching a "Yield" sign on a slip road onto a freeway. The answer is speed up, apparently. Cars already on the freeway in the inside lane will be expecting you to do this and let you in. Had no end of trouble with this when I came back to the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Every time I see the GN thread on Edinburgh Pars it gives me a brief thrill, thinking there may be others like me out there. Then after looking a bit closer it actually says "Edinburgh Bars". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
