Wanna be Tour De France cyclist on the way to work

[Soup890]

Now every man and his dog thinks they are pro cyclist after watching one Stage and went off to Halfords and bought a bike.

Cycling to work this morning. Taking my time. Here comes a Roadie/joker drafting behind me I just smiled.

I am now wondering if the lad that I cycled with last night on his brand spanking new Spesh (Bought yesterday) had been 'inspired' by the weekend.

On my cycle in to work this morning I felt like I was in the Tour De France, I had lots of cars and motorbikes following me people waving and shouting and I got into work in record time might have to use the M5 Northbound more often.

Have you checked the seam of your cycling shorts? Maybe they were trying to tell you something

I started commuting after Brad won in 2012. I even have a yellow tee-shirt with "Maillot Brittanique" on it.

So, one cyclist rode behind another. Is that about it?

Should have told him that drafting won't have much benefit at 12mph...

I was cycling behind someone the other day, I didn't want to get accused of drafting so I turned round and went the other way, boy was my boss pissed that I didn't get into work that day, he didn't accept my excuse but then he's not a cyclist so he doesn't know the rules.

I had the holy grail of drafting last night. Enormous chunky bloke going like the clappers. Barely had to pedal

In fact to the OP was the bloke drafting you a hairy bloke in what looks like a german WW1 helmet. If so it was probably me!

You might reconsider if you search for OP's other threads!

My wife has decided to take up cycling, however she would like it made clear that it's nothing at all to do with the TdF and she was going to anyway, so there.

You say that now. By the end of the week she'll be cycling behind some bloke just smiling and BAM! she's now a roadie/joker.
You won't even see it coming.
