The Definitive Definition Of Scalping

[trustysteed]

It can only be considered scalping if:

a) The other person knows it is a race

AND

The other person is trying to win it

If one or both of those arguments fails, it is NOT, repeat NOT, a scalp.

 

[Downward]

So Scalpings will never happen then.

nah, any overtake will do

 

[numbnuts]

and I thought this was scalping

Scalp is anyone on a bike thats on the road, and you go past

I count them all, just some are better than others !

 

[mcshroom]

Considering how infrequently I actually pass anyone, I'll take any "scalp" I can get.

There is only one scalp....taking out a moped....... with a chav on it......

That must be mega points..........

Uphill, by Mr L3, leaving a very annoyed Chav behind. Now that's pretty impressive!

Although he wasnt a chav, I nearly completed this scalp mission impossible

first rule of scalping (or preventing it happening) is to avoid B. At no point should you make it look like you are attempting to race! make it look like you are having a leisurely, relaxing run

Like bombing up behind giving it full effort then freewheeling past holding your breath as you pass by so they dont hear breathing hard

Close, you should have jumped on his wheel just as he came past.... you'd have done it...

I was scalped so badly yesterday I'm still bleeding! My first commute since the snow and I overdid it! Last mile of my 18 mile home journey (I cycled in too) which is uphill and while my body is merrily eating itself to compensate for my lack of fitness along spins a high viz top on a bike!

It did make me laugh though as it made me see that the hill was only difficult for me, it isn't a bad hill, and away I wheezed! He was past the top of the hill before I'd managed to get to the middle!

Lycra - an indication that we shalln't get on

It particularly annoys me when some Lycra-head sees me going at speed on the Brompton, takes it as an affronery to his already bruised manhood, and decides to 'scalp' me only for me to catch up at the next set of lights.

I thought this sort of buffoonery was the preserve of motor vehiclists. It certainly makes me wish to scalp the spandex-clad loon, (Red/Native American) Indian style!

 

[palinurus]

Although when riding a Brompton I become extra competitive because I know that such a scalping hurts more than being overtaken by spandex clad loon.

So your telling me none of these count? :'(
