Same build as myself Accy, I'm 6'1" and 10.5 stone.

What's that down to Joe? Medical problems or just your natural build? I've been "slim" most of my life. I'd love to go back to the 13.5 stone i was 9 years ago but i can't see that happening

If you have kids and aimlessly drive around you have no concern for theirs or the future as our species (and the rest of the planet)

Yes excessive use of the motor car from running kids to school to being afraid to allow them out because of the increased traffic of which having three cars between two of you makes you high on the list.

What drivel.
We only own one car. The other two are tools of our respective trades.
When we are out in our own car we are always together.
The MX5 has done 25000 miles in six years.
15000 miles of those have been driving to and from Italy, and touring on holiday.
I doubt whether we use as much fuel as a Boeing 737, so we're doing our bit to save the Planet.
I would doubt that the Holier than Thou Brigade risk going on holiday anyway.
Also we don't usually target schools on weekdays on our aimless drives. I've managed to avoid knocking any schoolchildren over so far.

Natural build. I've been that weight all my life.

Your poor mother!

@Accy cyclist not as light as you yet but I have lost a stone in the last 6-7 weeks and just under 11st. now.

I have done 22,000 miles on my bike in 4 years.
That's is some detour to Italy, is 15,000 miles, I am not a great fan of jet planes either (loads of other stuff as well ......) but if you look at CO2 level increase since the 50/60's you will see why I am not (which I assume you already know).
I never implied you did but more the future of those children.
I have driven for a living and might likely do again, but all my personal transport is on my bike.

@Accy cyclist not as light as you yet but I have lost a stone in the last 6-7 weeks and just under 11st. now.

I saw a height and weight chart in the doctors once. According to the chart my maximum weight should be 13.5 stone and minimum 10 stone. I think i'm lazy when it comes to food if someone put 3 meals a day in front of me(like in hospital last week) i'd eat them. As it is now i have 1 main meal, 4 supplements, and crisps, chocolate and ice cream to try to gain weight.I also try and have 5 fruit and veg a day.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

@Accy cyclist ditto except i am not eating the amount you are.

...
So in summary, I can drive if I want to in the same way you can ride when you want to and it's none of your business where I'm going

Bloody well is, when you're adding to the clogged up roads, just for the fun of it. Your type will be out in force this sunny Sunday. Driving like lemmings just for the sake of it.

In light of this @Accy cyclist ...i have no choice but to retract this...

These three posts in 20 minutes are clearly the work of a troll... and quite a stupid one since you clearly don't understand the OP.

Apologies @outlash ...the OP clearly does have issues with everyone's car but his own.

He has a lot of issues given the amount of moaning & blaming we've had to endure.

Personally, I don't see the difference between leisure cycling or leisure driving. Both enjoyable, but both unecessary.

well there is a difference in that leasure driving is using up precious fossil fuels, directly kiling other road users (more miles = more deaths) as well as contributing to global warming. Leasure cycling is negligable harm in comparison. Not that I don't drive to go on holiday, even if I've rarely if ever "gone for a drive" but the difference is pretty clear cut

 

[Cuchilo]

I prefer leisure boating with my two stroke engine . Thats proper smog

Whilst I kind of agree with you, it's largely irrelevant in the context of this thread.

Bloody well isn't and never will be, mind your own business and stay out of other peoples.

Probably best for you to just go back to your inane polls about whether you should get dressed or not, simple things like that seem more your level.
