'Car up', 'Car back' & 'Car down'?

[Dirk]

Car up is starting to look like two opposite confusing meanings.

Exactly!

The British Cycling guideline seems far more logical to me.

British Cyclings advice is kack - lots of talk about indicating, zero talk about "looking" before doing so.

I just shout 'car!'

But then I only ride with others maybe once or twice a year.

My favourite shout that I've ever heard was "F**king great big shed behind !" as a home-made hippy wagon with a wooden caravan conversion on the back went past us on a club ride.

Isn't British Cycling the sports governing body? If so, shouldn't we follow their guidelines?

Depends on whether you want to live or not. They're not the boss of me, and I would suggest their advice for road riding is flawed.

"Auto van hinten!"

If you're in Sardinia on a speedskating training camp run by Germans, anyway. Otherwise YMMV I suppose

 

[Dirk]

YMMV?

 

[Tin Pot]

Up? Down?

Wtf are you lot in about?

No, wait - I can tell I don't want to know already.

 

[RichardB]

YMMV?

Your mileage may vary (a disclaimer from old US car adverts, I think).

If British Cycling comes round here, telling ME whether I should say up, down or do the hokey cokey I will say OI!
