Velominati rule .... Why km's?

[Kies]

// Speeds and distances shall be referred to and measured in kilometers.
This includes while discussing cycling in the workplace with your non-cycling coworkers, serving to further mystify our sport in the web of their Neanderthalic cognitive capabilities. As the confused expression spreads across their unibrowed faces, casually mention your shaved legs. All of cycling’s monuments are measured in the metric system and as such the English system is forbidden.

Hah. the only time I refer to kilometres is when I'm km/8*5ing them.

As far as I am concerned, the 'Velominati' are just a set of London-centric post pubescent twits, who feel the need to wrap their current lives with 'rules', in order to show off their worldliness, despite just a few initial visits to 'Europa'.

Begrudgingly though, I'll admit that perhaps some of their rules are reasonably sound.

Rule 5 is great ..... Man the F up!

Really - I thought they were Dutch?

What did the Dutch ever do?

Cue the late 90's Belgo's marketing campaign!

best taken with a pinch of salt or read as any forum post, probably best not to take it as 100% right

My question still stands ... Do we measure in mph and thus miles, or adopt the European way with kph and km?

 

[Radchenister]

Thought to self ... this bloke's either retentive, or mathematically illiterate ...

 

[oldfatfool]

Using Km/ Kph without stating the unit, sounds much more impressive

 

[Radchenister]

I suppose you could be accused of living life by short measures?

Definition of short measure
noun

• an amount, especially of alcohol, less than that which is declared or paid for:coal users in North Yorkshire are being sold short measures[mass noun]:the most serious crime is short measure on a pint

 

[Hacienda71]

It's what they do in the Tour, Giro and Vuelta init.

Use whatever you're happiest with, I use km and km/h.

 

[Radchenister]

How desperately dull ... that approach won't fill more than one page of forum banter now will it !?

I started in the 60's with miles and I shall continue so forever and ever ah-men. If yaz wanna use kms - be my guest. It's 5/8ths to me
