En route from Bristol to Reading, I called into a pub for a soft drink.

"So where have you come from?"
"Bristol"
"But that's 70 miles away"
"Yep, but it's pretty flat"
"Wait a minute - my mate's a car dealer: let me ring him for you."

Workmate: How are you getting to the hotel after work later, want to share a taxi?
Me: No I thought I'd try a Boris Bike
Workmate: Are you mad! If you cycle in london you'll be killed!

I had a hospital appointment today, saw a consultant about a recurring ear problem. I keep feeling dizzy.
In the preamble
him - how would you describe your overall fitness?
me - it's good.
him - any regular medication?
me - no
him - any regular exercise?
me - yeah, I do some cycling
him - how far do you go?
me - not so much in the week, but over the weekend I did an 80, then a 120 mile ride.
him - (stares over glasses) are you on the olympic team?

:rofl:

I get... off the cuff... "it's time you gave that up mate" From a colleague, that is my line manager, that is not as qualified as me in 'our jobs', that is a lot heavier than me, and a year or two younger, that hasn't exercised, and I ride a bike ? :whistle: Nope........ :biggrin: :tongue: :becool: :hello:

That's where the 'you ride a bike into work' comes in.... :whistle:

Talking to one of my customers today, I mentioned that I had been out on the bike for 4 hours on Monday,

Wow, she said, you must have been able to get to London in that time.

I had to admit that I wasn't quite that quick........................

My favourite ever was an example from someone off this very forum. He turned up to work in his lycra, and upon entering the office, was greeted by an overweight male colleague. Who, taking offence at his lycra, said "what the f**k do you look like?" Before our cyclist could reply, one of the female staff piped up with "he looks fit as f**k Kev, unlike you. You look like a fat sack of crap tied in the middle". :biggrin:
