chuffy hasn't managed to think of any.

Eh?
I'm waiting for you to come up with the 'serious cyclists' who've left, you demented little pilchard.

 

[Bollo]

I subscribe to this - am I serious?

simon L1/2? hash burnham? jacomus? there's loads.

I'm still unsure really whether having a brompton disqualifies flying monkey. Yesterday i thought 'obviously', but this morning i'm feeling a little more lenient.

the tawdry fact is, for every serious cyclist that leaves, about 10 non-serious ones join in their place.

How do you define a serious cyclist? And does it matter so long as you get enjoyment from riding your bike (with or without mudguards).

Perhaps you are only a serious cyclist if you ride with one of these on your bike...http://www.sheldonbrown.com/real-man.html

to be a serious cyclist you don't just have to enjoy cycling, you have to modify your cycling behaviour/kit list/possibly even more things about your life etc to get the most enjoyment out of it that you can. Cycling has to take priority over other things in your life - for instance, the classic "i can't buy so-and-so 'cos my wife won't let me" is the classic dead giveaway of an extremely UN-serious cyclist.

How about "I have fake Wiggle, ChainReaction, local LBS receipts that I can generate from by laptop to convince the wife that I don't fritter my salary away on bike tat"?

I nvere say anything like that. Is it because I'm a serious cyclist or because I'm fortunate enough to be single???

You beat me to it Chris....
Let's face it, a comment like "Cycling has to take priority over other things in your life - for instance, the classic "i can't buy so-and-so 'cos my wife won't let me" is the classic dead giveaway of an extremely UN-serious cyclist." can only have been made by someone who is single, has always been single and intends to spend the rest of their life that way.

Bonj, are you Cliff Richard?

 

[mr Mag00]

must be, they both sound like peanuts
