I think everyone else has covered nicely what I would have posted..... Good support on these boards
Any bets on what they'll move onto next?Probably an ex-golfist who's discovered cycling in the last year or so.
On the brighter side in 12 months or so when the nobber has moved on to the next flavour of the month, you'll be able to buy his bike for 10% of what he paid for it.
But never the less, probably true. I've been at this a long time and I've honestly never met a genuine long term cycle enthusiast who was anything other than respectful and helpful to either newcomers or those with limited means who could not afford to spend out on expensive gear. Unfortunately the popularity of cycling has attracted the Strava and latest kit obsessed types who look down their noses at anyone they consider lesser beings. Exactly the same thing happened during the motorcycle boom when it was at it's peak about fifteen years ago, race replica riders in shiny one piece leathers who would openly sneer at anyone who wasn't aboard the latest mega rocket. And like their cycling counterparts will do, once it no longer became fashionable they disappeared en mass.the support is good to see and is typical of cyclechat but some of the other comments are really cringe worthy, this time next year bolllllox, small penis, ex golfer, lone rider, all the gear no idea nonsense, its like the crap you patronise kids with...
I hit a milestone in April. It feels as good as the first time, and I've been doing this a while. Good on you and keep aiming higher! Just don't look up the Eddington thread here...us mortals will never be at the top of those numbers ;-)I set a personal best for distance today so I'm not going to let a bell end like that take the wind out of my sails. It was a great day.
Spoken like a Northern lad.And quite right.Best comeback ever: "I couldn't agree more, I'm in training to be a tw@t, just like you" you see them wobble when they look back at you
You do your own thing, ignore what others say or shout, you have much respect from everyone on this forum, it's friends like us who's opinions count
