People who think they are proper cyclists then. They think this because they're wearing lycra and a bit of polystyrene on their noggin and ignore others partaking in the same hobby because they're not dressed in the uniform.

Well this makes me a part time proper cyclist, I wear lycra its very comfortable, I don't always wear a hat or glasses and sometimes wear baggy shorts and never ignore anybody.

Sounds just like me, apart from the lid bit, as I've never gotten around to buying one. I was merely pointing out that some folk on bikes are a bit sniffy...

Might just be me but whenever I see someone running they always look like they're about to collapse, they sound awful, have everything strapped up, and have that OMG expression on their face ! ^_^
I like to just poodle along on my bike soaking up the sun and absorbing the countryside at a nice leisurely pace .. :bicycle:
then have a slice of cake !


That reminds me of a bloke that started catching me up on a 10k run I was taking part in couple of months ago. He really throw me of my pace for a while as he was making noises like those female tennis players. It worked on making me run faster though.

I know :smile:

I was just trying to point out, as the saying goes.

If you want waves to bring you fullfillment then buy a Ford Fusion. Every pensioner in christendom will wave rabidly in recognition and approval, toma disconcerting degree. The Smart car owners wave is restrained in comparison.

I think I get a similar cardio workout in 20 minutes jogging that I do in 1 hour cycling.
