The Commuter Pirate Racing thread on C+ was great.

I saw a cyclist with a similar beard at a time trial last season.

I can't be bothered with this anti-cycling crap stuff,it's such a waste of time and generally it doesn't change peoples opinions.

If people want to believe we are all RLJing Pavement Cycling Anti Hi Viz Anti Helmet Non Road Tax payers then so be it.

Fantastic video, all the cyclist look really fast !

 

[BentMikey]

Chalkus does not know what he is on about.

Well yes, that's my opinion too. Do us a favour then, and reply, and also thumb up or down the various comments so far.

That's cheating BM.

 

[Tharg2007]

I dont get it, what's piratey about that? I could see no pirate type antics whatsoever I'm quite annoyed actually, when I see pirates mentioned I expect to see pirate stuff

 

[BentMikey]

That's cheating BM.

Oh come on - how is that? I didn't tell anyone how to comment - that's up to them, depending on how they feel.

Wrong smiley,you took my comment too seriously.

Chalkus is just one of life’s little idiots – reckons he’s a cyclist and spends most of his time informing other cyclists on youtube that they should cycle in the gutter. Apparently its dangerous for other road users if we cycle “in the middle of the road”.
The guy has both oars in the water, they just happen to be on the same side of the boat.

That's why it's a waste of time with these comedians.

 

[BentMikey]

On the contrary, I've found that it is possible to change peoples' views when there is good logic, new viewpoints, and a several of people telling them this. Not always, but often enough that there's a chance they will learn and improve.

 

[hackbike 666]

Yes I noticed.

I posted a link to this vid on another thread - it's one of my faves. I think the music really makes it.

With regard to Chalkus, he's just a bit daft. Not his fault.

Any reason the URL seems to be marked as private now??? Was wanting to view it again as I'd just heard Epica doing some Pirates of the Caribbean music and it brought back memories of this!
