Two wheels good; 4 wheels better!

Speed is relative though.

You need to know your inertial frame of reference

the slow bicycle forum.
There is one on FB, I'm a member

And you know that I know that is not the case (you may well be a member, but on false pretenses!).

Usually the stationary objects along the track/road.

Nay, they are just fishing.

They couldnae catch a cold!

Maybe in the morning not now.

I like physics.

I doubled the value of my 22 year old Pug 205 today by placing the Brompton in the boot in preparation for a little trip tomorrow.

You mean you don't cycle everywhere!

You could double it again by filling the petrol tank .

Mine is a special edition you know with metallic paint, electric windows and central locking (which works occasionally).

Shock horror . Cyclists use other means of transport as well

Of all that post on here, @tyred was one I thought only used cycles.

What hope for the rest of us?

Braggart with your latest model low mileage nonsense! Our two cars have a combined age of 27 and a mileage of over 300k. The younger is over 13 and just passed 140k!

And we have no need or desire to change either

Combined age of my two is 50+. Hmm - thats older than me. And its the younger one that has probably already passed its last MOT - its attempts to improve fuel economy by shedding iron oxide wherever its parked are failing and its probably what most people would have in their mind with the phrase 'dirty diesel'. Still, as its a Nissan its less likely to breakdown than one of the bikes.

I am in the same situation as Brandane. I ride bikes, drive a car, have motorbikes and used to be a lorry driver. I have no interest in cars but live in an area where I need one to get to work by 4am. My work is 18km away and I cycle most days, winter and summer. My weekly average cycling is between 200-400km. We have come to Belgium this week by motorbike to watch the start of the Transcontinental Race. We could have flown. Or at least tried. My friend Alex had his flight cancelled by Ryanair and paid an arm and a leg to get another carrier. Jurgen got caught up in a security scafe at Munich airport. All flights cancelled and cannot get his bike back. TCR over before it starts. Derek took trains from Groningen in Holland. 11 train changes with a bike. But he got here. So I dont mind having cars and bikes. It makes life easier for me.
