Are sheep more intelligent than cyclists ?
Yesterday I was riding my registered, taxed and insured two wheeled vehicle on the Tour de Yorkshire course and was constantly held up on some of the narrowest and twisty roads in England by fat, middle aged men on expensive racing bicycles, who were all riding in the middle of the road talking to their mates. Do cyclists ride in such an inconsiderate manner because they too deaf to hear a 1000cc motorcycle with a race-can several yards behind them or are they just ****s ? I had no such issue with the local sheep population who got out of the way in a timely fashion |

I suspect that all of your blustering about "registered, taxed and insured" would come to naught if you were involved in an accident. You admit to having a "race can" - is it road-legal? Indeed,many race exhausts for motor cycles are etched with the words "not legal for road use". It's only thinly etched, mind (25 microns), and can be polished out with T-Cut. Have you told your insurers about the modification to your vehicle? If the answer to either of these questions is "no", then you may well find you are *not* insured. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. -- MatSav |

All modifcations have been declared to both my insurer and the fully trained mechanic who gives me an annual certificare of road worthiness, thank you very much. How many cyclists are riding modified bicycles without informing the provider of their fridge freezer insurance ? |

Of course, the first thing you must do after buying a new push-bike is remove the bell. That extra weight can add as much as 5.3 seconds to your total journey time when calculated over a full year. And of course, you can always just shout "Get out of the ****ing way". That is only marginally more effective than a bell; considering that most of those in the way have their ears stopped by white disk-like contraptions. |

If you didn't use handlebars, you could attach the bell to one of your freed up hands instead: URL:http://www.youtube.co.uk/watch?v=lnL4fjMzsSU Also handy (pun intended) if you are riding a unicycle. -- Mark |
