Hello Dick

and you know that how?


--


Latest figures from DfT: KSI per billion passenger kilometres:

Van: 5 people
Bus/Coach: 9 people
Car : 18 people
Pedestrians: 358 people

Oh : and of course cyclists:
Cyclists: 541 people

Of those four modes of transport - which is the most dangerous?

(With thanks to Justin Lewis for asking me to find out the figures)

Season does not extend into November: simple. From mid October the
races are cyclo-cross (off road).

Second, it is not stated that they were racing in the article so that
is an (incorrect) assumption.

Your record is getting worse. No mention of a race in that link and
yet you post about cycle race crash!
When did you last post accurately?

Therefore no-one could ever assume anything.

I thought you thought that you taught English?

why else would there be a gang of cyclists all together? Keeping each other
warm perhaps?

Many reasons. It was not a race- look at the racing diary of the BCF.l

Ah - I understand now - if two people or more were going to race
together on their bikes - say on their way to work - they have to
"register" in some way with the BCF.l do they?



I must admit I had not realised that.


Many thanks - you are indeed excellent value Dick (may I call you
that?)

Not if it is a time trial - then you ride under the RTTC rules.
Training is not the same as a race in any circumstances. No cyclist
who arrives first at the end of a training would ever talk about
having won a race or having even been in a race.
So your understanding is, for once, correct. Without some official
element it is not a race in cycling.

the idea of cyclists having friends is a bit odd, yes.

Let me see, the driver was almost certainly not injured by the cyclist
and did not need hospitalisation and what about boy racers while we
are at it?

And what about banana boats, lets bring them into the thread.
