The state of the comments section on that article. The Venn diagram of motorists who hate cyclists and Brexit voters is a perfect circle. "Make them pay road tax!" "Sometimes they ride 2 abreast!" "I seen one run a red light once!!!" How about maybe not driving your car into people? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should meet my Mrs. As anti brexit as they come, but an utter seething mess when it comes to cyclists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Excellent day for cycling today. 64ish miles @16.1mph with 3150ft ascent. Great to see loads of other folk out on their bikes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I'm on a wee CTC holiday exploring the London area. Spent today cycling in the touristy West Central London after coming in from the East. Biggest hazard is Jay walking pedestrians. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unleash The Nade Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Brilliant 50 mild spin in the sunshine this morning up Carron Valley , down into Fintry , Kippen , then back through Stirling. Makes a huge difference with a bit sunshine on your back and no moronic weekend driver types to contend with 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy enough to pry the old ones off with a bread knife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Anyone doing Ride to the Sun this year? Also how easy/hellish is it to cycle from the finish at Cramond to the Tay Road Bridge? The logistics are a pain so I'm considering a one way train to Carlisle then effectively cycling from there to Forfar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 63 miles @16.5mph today before the shite weather comes in. Starting to feel I'm on the right track fitness wise for the Bealach Mor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Did the Cairn o'Mount challenge today. 82 miles of brutal climbing, seethe inducing headwinds and only about 10 miles of enjoyable downhill. 7000+ feet of ascent was quite testing as well, as was the route. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 ^^^ Thuggery apologist / AKA cyclist. Less of the fat shaming and mocking genetically inherited illnesses, please. "Back on track" not my words P & B but the words of Grahame Obree when he crashed out the velodrome. [emoji38] Fat c**t 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
