Things that you never see on CycleChat

I spotted a person of extraordinary length on one 2 am visit to the forum ...

I know that the forum is full of proud, upstanding members, but this 'member' was way too proud and very much too upstanding!

Most of the mods must have been asleep at the time. I reported the 'Dick Dastardly' post and went to bed!

@classic33 tends to be a nocturnal poster on here. Just sayin'.......

I've just re-read that thread.

For all that I was delighted to see a blue plaque commemorating Willie Rushton at Mornington Crescent tube station. Did they knock his house down to build the station do you think?

It is seriously lame and destructive. And no, we shouldn’t have it in the real world either.

I think that's ok. If you want a private conversation, there are plenty of places to have it. On the main forums of CC is not one of them.

OK, let's give it a try:
Some are more expensive than others. The more expensive ones have more gears, which is obviously better. A few of the really expensive ones need electricity. They all have stupid names, that aren't Japanese words so I can't explain that bit.
