The Golden Age of Cyclists will soon be upon us. They will rule for 800 years before the Pro-Walking campaigners finally get their way and we all have to live within 3 miles of our workplace.
Eventually, we will resort to swinging through the trees for a while before we resort to crawling everywhere on our stomach and then swimming the rest of the way.

Reversed evolution. Sounds intense.
I stand by the use of the word typical; the use of the word meaning "most" in this instance... Included in that are the ones who decide they don't want to wait at the lights like a road user, so jump onto the pavement and use the crossing.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Objection: Incorrect use of the word 'typical'.Shade wrote:asl wrote:The Golden Age of Cyclists will soon be upon us.

Complete, utter and horrific non sense. The majority of good cyclists like myself abide by the UK road rules and laws.

I speak facts. Just carried out my own survey based on 30 minutes in the car, driving round with heavy rock turned up to 11 and shouting at any tw@ getting in my way.
