Proper Cyclists

[snorri]

Just wondering if it would be worth putting another forum section for serious cyclists?

Being a proper cyclist myself the thread title Proper Cyclists immediately drew me in, but I soon lost interest at your mention of serious cyclists in the opening lines.
I don't wish to be associated with serious cyclists thank you, I'm out.

Concerned I'll be prevented from posting as living in France and being the uncool side of 40. What if I promise not to use silly words like BIDON ?

When you're older you'll be the right side of 40, though.

Do 'proper' cyclists have to use WD40 or GT85?
So far this year I've ridden 1,200 miles on one can of GT85! (stops the piles, you know...)

Wouldn't it be easier to ride your bike that sort of distance?

Personally, I find anyone who can't hold a 15mph average contemptible.

A very famous record-breaking British cyclist recently said, "never sacrifice style for speed." A proper cyclist could be riding a cheap folder shopper and knowledgeable folk would still look and think — (s)he's a proper cyclist.

Pah, lightweights the lot of you. Come back to me when you're doing 20 min 10 Mi TT's on a Steel frame bike with a hub gear.

Uber like to @0-markymark-0 for this.

And can we not have sub sections based on how cool we look?

We already bhave it: the CC Ecosse contingent is well ueber cool, bloody freezing as a matter of fact

Of course, we'll have to take care not to confuse this with the forum for clean French cyclists, or "Propre Cyclistes".

Can we have a subsection in Technical for proper mechanics? I suggest as an entry requirement submission of a 1000 word discourse on the difference between a sprocket and a cog.

So no entry requirement of your daily dose of Belgian toothpaste then?

Gears? GEARS? The one true way is fixed. Come back when you're man enough to finish a 10 mi TT on a fixed gear!

Time to stop the April fool ...
We all know that @0-markymark-0 isn't a proper cyclist, hence the April's fool
