The club and the upward spiral of tech prices

[Dogtrousers]

So what about when a member verbally criticises another for not riding a faster/better type of bike? Still imagination?

No. And if someone were to hit a rider with a hammer, screaming "Take that! That's for your horrible rim brakes!" that would not be imagination. If it ever happened.

Ah. Do I detect you are deploying sarcasm to imply that these comments are, in fact, in the imagination of all those who hear them?

(Sarcasm: the lowest form of debate.)

How very circular.

Was my post unclear in some way? I've checked, it was short, and written in English!

I'm struggling to understand the confusion here ...

It wasn't in English, it was a URL. Pointing to one of my posts. A little bit circular, non?

An unbelievable statement !!!

I've ridden with three clubs over the past 26/27 years. I live in Lancashire, have a very distinctive southern accent and I'm clearly what people somewhat ignorantly describe as middle-class. In that time I've never encountered any form of discussion about "class" and cycling. Nothing has changed.

You clearly have a problem with what you perceive as different classes of people. As I see it we are all equal and I make no distinction between people based on things such as background, education, accent etc. but take people as they come. You obviously do make distinctions which is rather sad.

This is indeed insanely circular. I think I've already replied to that.

I'll leave you going round in circles on this one.

Well you posted about hitting riders with hammers. I didn't really see that as a serious - let alone constructive - response.

You appear to live in cloud cuckoo land. But to be fair, it does sound as if it works very pleasantly for you so well done, I am very happy for you.

I can't recall that happening in the clubs I've been in. People have taken the piss out of people for riding dirty bikes which I think is fair enough.
