Arrogant cyclists

[QUOTE 2487071, member: 259"]Very true. I'd have a pretty hard time liking Mick Hucknall if he was on a bike, as well. In fact, I just couldn't do it.[/quote]

Just mis-read that as 'licking' . Had to go back and double check!

cervelo chic would probably acknowledge you, as you have a visible helmet.

Since joining a club ive noticed that when i wear my club Jersey 95% of cyclists never seem to reply with a nod or raised hand, but when im in just a normal jersey id say 60% reply.
And before anyone says maybe they dont like the club, i could be 40-50 miles away.

They might be deaf ...

I'll admit I only read as far as page 9 but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what have I got myself into! cyclists are a some crazy bunch. If I see a another group I'm going to go the opposite direction just in case they tell be to F off.

I didn't realise it was so complicated. I originally thought if you could keep up and nod when you get the groups attention you were alright. I didn't know I may cause offense.

It's not the jokes that has me worried it the people who appear serious. I don't take things personally at all. I'm sure by the time I'm fit enough to keep up with a pack I'll understand the signs and know who to avoid (I hope).

Nobbers with baskets on the front of their bikes are the worst.

Did she beat you up the hill.

Yes, I did

I don't tend to acknowledge people that don't wear lids... following the result of seeing a guy being hit by a car that wasn't wearing one who sadly died, has haunted me since

Blimey.

Cyclists' deaths are incredibly rare, I expect you can tell us where and when this happened?

No. Don't.

I might say hello but I get shy round club jerseys cause I feel a bit unworthy if anything!

I saw the result of a cyclist being hit by a car, and he WAS wearing a helmet. It didn't do him much good . By your logic, should I ignore any cyclist I see who IS wearing a helmet?
I don't wear a helmet; feel free to ignore me.

MODS!
Any chance of starting a "Forensic Pathology" thread in Helmet Debates?

I had a cyclist say good morning to me on this morning's commute. Brompton, pannier, helmet, all the usual gear. I completely blanked him as I was sat at a red on the opposite side of a cross roads where he had jumped the red towards me causing a car to have to brake to avoid him. Tw*t.

He might be on here later complaining about someone blanking him.
