Nearly wiped out a whole cycling club

The last time I saw Penguins was in Iceland. They were on a BOGOF offer.

That sounds like a bit of a beau jest!

Edinburgh may be something of a cold, desolate wasteland.... but it isn't quite the Arctic.

Got a mate who when chatting up Ladies tells them he is a penguin erector at Edinburgh Zoo. the chat is, because Ed. Zoo is on Ed. Airport flight path when planes are taking off the penguins will watch them and if they go right over the penguins head they fall over, and it is my mates job to stand them up again. He swears it works every time

My inner pedant started jumping up and down. ....now an alternate side splitter...

I wouldn't mention it, if you hadn't mentioned your inner pedant. I've got one too.

Sorry.

It was the whole "pelaton"

[QUOTE 4250780, member: 9609"]Should a Pelaton just be treated as you would an articulated lorry [/QUOTE]

I'm struggling to think of a roundabout in the country where you would fail to notice an entire peleton.

Trouble is, a rider in the middle of a peleton can't just put the brakes on

It's peloton. As demonstrated below:

The key difference between the long train / peloton of cyclists.

To be fair, in this case it was a dozen cyclists out for a club ride, so not a peloton anyway.

 

[vickster]

Petit peloton?

FFS read the OP before knee jeerking a ridiculous defence of crappy cycling behaviour. How many abreast was not the issue, pulling out onto a roundabout without giving way was.

Why was it mentioned then?

 

[mickle]

Hur. You said 'abreast'.

And he probably wrote that in a strip club.

Absolutely right, we're all fallible in our own ways no matter what our mode of transport.

End of discussion really. Probably the most sensible thing ever written on this forum about the matter.
