Do they really need to dress up like Tour De France competitors just to cycle round Sarf London streets or the lanes around here? The whole point of going out on a bike is lost on them ... it is about enjoyment of fresh air and the sights you cannot see from a car. Taking healthy exercise I can understand but the way they dress and behave? Fecking eejits!
Good point. Someone asked me via email the other day why I have a mountain bike living in the middle of London. A fair question which I explained to MissD today. A friend of mine was moving house and had no further use of his mountain bike and offered it to me,
gratis. This was about ten years or so ago and since then it's been nicked, replaced, nicked, replaced and I still have one which I use during the summer. It's a sturdy thing but only has 24 gears ...
Unlike some I hear who have 60
Oh, and I don't dress up to use it
