How many CC'ers actually cycle?

[MiK1138]

I seriously get the impression most people on this forum do not actually cycle. The odd ride or two a year, a lot probably haven't even cycled in years.

The real threads on proper cycling related stuff like training are frequented by the same handful of people. Which leaves everyone else posting nonsense.

The answer to all cycling performance questions are met with 'just ride your bike more', which is awful advice but typical of the type of 'cyclists' here.

How many here actually ride proper? And how many like to talk to talk about pies, 60's shirt buttons, bolivian shoe horns and other pointless nonsense?

I get on my bike i put downward pressure on my pedal, i am propelled forward. am i doing it right?

I'm sure there are other forums for serious cyclists.

I would have thought he should be out training with his pro team?

 

[vickster]

What, do you mean without stabilizers? Please explain this concept of "Proper" cycling?

He needs to learn English as well as cooking it seems

 

[roadrash]

perhaps you should have done some proper cycling to a proper take away instead of using just eat , you still seem to be spouting shite

The Cycle Chat Group on My Cycling Log has done 439812.17 miles this year surely some of us are "doing it right"

- not a 'hello' wave but the nearest I could find.

so @blazed are you saying that because i started this thread Washing up Gloves i am not a proper cyclist !!!

The above thread has a great bearing on my cycling so it is important to me and other cc'ers have a happy new year

Me and the missus both like to enter into the spirit of cycling. I believe in safety, so bright lycra a must, but also having fun. The missus likes to look stylish too.
We took these pics of ourselves before yesterdays sunny ride...

Please note we both wear helmets

I think the clue is in the name of the forum, it has the word "chat" in it.

They help with the aerodynamics so are faster

Ah, I get it: prat rhymes with chat and Blazed got confused.

Define riding 'proper' for me.
I ride a hybrid bike with panniers to the shops, I ride a MTB on trails, I sometimes wear lycra, sometimes I don't ride for a few weeks depending on the weather or my health.
Am I not a 'proper' cyclist then? Am I not allowed to discuss anything other than technicalities of riding and how many thousands of miles I've ridden this year? I think I'd be a boring fart if I only did that!

Instead of antagonising those of us that ride for pleasure and/or fitness, maybe you should cycle off and find a forum where there's less 'pointless nonsense' being discussed

Yes but it's full of amateurs

I used to be a serious cyclist - then I learned how to have fun with my cycling
