Cyclists really are in their own world

[SteveW86]

I wasn't fitted as such but I did test ride it before buying. As for speeds in each gear, absolutely no idea! I'm not quick, average around 15-17mph on a long run. I guess in forum terms that would make me an 18-20 handicapper?

Hey! There is nothing wrong with being an 18-20 handicapper

I won't do any great speeds on my bike. Had a motorcyle crash years ago doing about 35mph with protective clothing on that resulted in 2 weeks in hospital and 12 weeks off work. I doubt my lycra would give me much protection.

I mutter the same to myself when I see people on motorbikes in shorts and t shirt. Would you run as fast as you can and dive on the tarmac? no way! That would hurt! and that's 10mph maximum!

I am a cyclist, touch wood not had a serious accident, but had some close calls with some doorknob drivers that don't give you the space or think they have to give way to you.

I'm not going out on my roadbike during lockdown, I don't want to be a statistic that ends up using resources needed elsewhere, so turbo only for me or some gentle MTB trails. Certainly no KOM chasing!!

Having cycled and been in a club, don't put yourself down your about a 12.

The dangers are definitely out there, for motorists AND cyclists.
Not only should cyclists pay attention to what clothes they are wearing, but they should also be aware of getting a bicycle with the correct colour saddle, otherwise all sorts of misunderstandings could arise!!

I'm sure that's the one I met on a golf trip to Thailand ....

Meeting them is fine... Waking up, in the same bed, is when it becomes worrying ?...

Cycling can be so positive mentally and physically. I think on the continent it is associated with very positive images as part of culture (Giro, Vuelta, Roubaix, Le Tour) whereas in the UK we tend to get the negative them and us agenda.

Awesome.

That looks a great road for thrashing my AMG down. Get these cyclists out of the way!

Absolutely. I'd love to take the Wolf for a cruise along that road.
