They can't seem to differentiate between a BSO and a quality bike to save their arse from perdition.

I don't speak to people who don't ride bikes, so I have no idea if they are annoying or not

Some people at work look at me like I'm strange when I tell them I've cycled into work in Nuneaton from Coventry, its only six and a half miles, if I tell them I've cycled fifty miles on Sunday morning they don't believe me.

You should have just seen my neighbour's face just now when I said that I'd only been around the block and that the 2 cafes at Wymondham, that we visited were both shut. One for 'W/C' whatever the heck that means. The other, a touristy place, is only open Mon-Fri.You rode how far!! After telling them that you had a pootle of ten miles.
Jody's face was a picture. "around the block!!' you could very nearly see the exclamation marks going across his brain

Just recently, I mentioned to an acquaintance that I had ridden 50 miles.
I was asked over how many days had I accomplished that feat!!

"You cycled to where? But that's MILES away"
I don't think they realise how fast bikes can go.

But he is a MAN and therefore clearly good at manly puncture-fixing whereas you are only a WOMAN, and therefore more suited to womanly pursuits such as sewing quilts and baking cakes ...Somebody asked me recently if i still got my Dad to repair my punctures ?
I'm 47, he is 75 as if

Their kids' bikes weigh a ton, are badly maintained if at all, and are crudded up with dirty, gunky oil and sheet.
- And then the kids come to me if something needs fixing, or they've left their bike at school because it has a puncture and is too heavy for them to push. But the bikes are so sheet I can't be bothered doing a proper job. A proper job would involve a sledgehammer. - and relax...
People that don't ride bikes brainwash their kids into thinking cycling is shoot by giving them shoot bikes.
