Doesn't that depend on the cyclist then....what are they implying?
Lol. No idea ? Maybe if the bike was dropped from a plane at 30.000 ft it could break records lol
Doesn't that depend on the cyclist then....what are they implying?
The usual one is: "Four and a half miles each way? I couldn't do that and do a full day's work." I work with very unfit people. To give an example: We work on the second floor of a building, and there is a group of my colleagues who go outside for a smoke three or four times a day, in all weathers. The only thing that stops them is when the lift is undergoing maintenance.
I've seen them sit for hours going "Is the lift working again yet? I'm dying for a tab."
"Are you mad.....why would you cycle that distance when you have a car".......Eh, because I want to and I can!!!!
Does that bike go fast ?
Yup, this is probably the question I'm asked the most!Aren't you scared on the road?
Most people in my life, just have encouragement as they know the reasons I am doing it.
Work colleagues are generally the ones who are astounded.
And my personal favourite to date......
- But you live MILES away - Yup, 7 and a half, you live closer but choose to drive.
- How long does that take - About 5 minutes longer than if I drove.
- I wish I could do it - You can, you live less than 2 miles away, buy a bike.
- I didn't think there were cycleroutes from yours - there aren't - You don't come down that dangerous road do you (refering to the A15) - No such thing as a dangerous road, only dangerous road users.
- What happens when it rains - I get wet.
- How far is it to cycle in from yours? - 7 and a half miles - Oh.... how far is it by car? - Erm....... 7 and a half miles....
Why do you need 6 bikes?
Q: How many bikes?
A: Seven is good. a beater, a bomber, a single-speed, a touring bike, a lightish road bike, a do-all racked and bagged bike, a mixte, a loaner, and a work in progress.Seven? Make it nine.
