Are cyclists more left wing?

[newfhouse]

I'm not getting in a flap about it.

Bingo!

To decide where you sit on any spectrum you need something to compare... on the 'Jeremy Scale', I'm closer to Corbyn than I am to Clarkson or Vine.

As far as I know most of the world rides on the right.......hand side

There is driving on the 'right' side, and there is driving on the correct (left) side.

I wouldn't like to say if it is even a thing but here is a bunch of SS troops advancing on Bicycles.

And here are a bunch of Imperial Japanese Bicycle Infantry in the Philippines. Having previously been used to ride through Malaya to capture Singapore.

I dare say some might have had left wing views, but i don't think anybody cared for their political views as individuals but they were the tools of brutal regimes...

 

[slowmotion]

It's obvious really.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Can Trump that.
He got someone else to do the cycling for him.

Boris Johnson?

I think that photo is rather sad. Cycling should transcend all that type of bullpois. If I ever bumped into the fat blubbery lump of unkempt lard out on the road or in a cycling caff then to me he'd be a brother cyclist first and foremost.

Cycling is all about Momentum.

That'll explain the RLJers. Anyway, have you paid your road tax? (If anyone explains there is no such thing as road tax, then you are truly left wing). Besides, where's your helmet and registration plate (now there's a truly right wing agenda).

 

[mustang1]

Now I know why the govt introduced the Cyle To Work scheme: Boris wanted a bike.

Checked your armpits for any unusual growth?

Don't let any feather growth get you down....

Actually the rifles were to just keep the motorists away

1st Oct 2020:
The Political Views of Cyclists [10 pages]

DO YOU IDENTIFY AS LEFT-WING, CENTRE OR RIGHT-WING?

WHAT PARTY DO YOU NORMALLY VOTE FOR IN ELECTIONS?

DO YOU CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE’S POLITICAL BELIEFS?

Then there was that put-you-on-the-graph thread (which I can't find right now ... ) where everyone was a bit like Ghandi, not much like Thatcher.
