Attitude of fellow cyclists
Now I know this will spark a few comments, but I ride a £99 shopper
bike to get my shopping in, (2000 miles for £99 plus a set of tyres, cheap, but knackered now so replacement due, so 2000 miles for £150, no global warming included) I also ride a MTB Marion many pounds more than £99 and a summer road bike well over a grand. Now in summer on my expensive bike, good lycra every fellow road cyclist waves, on my MTB not many on road bikes wave, on my shopper very few wave. I do put a hand up or nod to every cyclist, be it child, shopper or the lad out for a ton mileage. So lads out there on the grand plus bike training, or out for the ton in 5hrs less, or just shaking off a hangover (yes I have done it, 18mph ave, Ok some one will beat that with a hangover. Kids!! dont cycle with a hangover) But give a nod to every other cyclist be it shopper, granny or child. You know be it a cyclist just starting out and 10 miles is hard they need a nod, one day they will hit the ton. Now another debate, road lads riding in winter, get a MTB and ride it in winter down bridleways, its hard, MTB shoes are double the weight of road shoes, I would say 15 miles off road is same as 12 on road. To end So many well known people suc as Matthew (Mr Piano Wire) are anti cyclist we must promote ourselves as been friendly to each other, cyling is good, Col |
