Code of Conduct

[beachcaster]

Can't stand people being sociable when I'm riding. It's about me, the bike and the road. If you have the energy to speak, you're not riding, you're just cycling. Pain, burn, push, sweat nothing else is relevant.

Well I suppose it takes all sorts

I say hello to fellow cyclists, some say hi some dont. its no skin off my nose if they ignore me. Saying that I often get stopped by tourists round here on bikes asking for directions etc and have had some great conversations with them.

OT - whenever I visiting a place for the first time somebody nearly always asks me directions ?

It's weird you should say that, when I got to Heugh (Pronounced 'Huff') Somebody pulled up in their car and asked me where 'Fenwick House' was.

I said 'Sorry I'm not from around here'.

They probably looked at me, looked at my bike and thought 'Yeah Right'

When i go past people, i normally just say "****" because they are slower then me, and dont deserve any other form of acknowledgement(my got thats a big word to spell!)
If theres a cyclist going the other way, if they look faster i will either shout "slow ****" to get them to hurry up, or just do the self-gratification artist sign.

If somebody went past me and said 'Asterisk Asterisk Asterisk Aterisk' I would assume they are on acid or something

 

[Joe24]

Half wheel for about 100 yards, and then without looking at the rider mention that they have '' a couple more gears'' before speeding up and leaving them behind.

Unless they are on fixed........
Do you shout, "GET SOME GEARS!!!!" at those riders?

 

[Joe24]

I'd ask them if they can trackstand.

I can trackstand
What would be your answer if they said yes?

 

[Joe24]

I'd say with ''no hands'' standing up while using a mobile phone?

Yes, i can. I did that at school in the 6th form room.
Get the saddle between your legs(hold it with the inner leg muscles) and you can stand up, and no hands is easy, sometimes easier then having hands on the bars i find.
What would you now say to this then Lee?

 

[Joe24]

Bollox

Ill do it for you either tomorrow or sunday then, or maybe monday. Ill even film myself standing up with no hands.

 

[Joe24]

Go on then

Done.
Can i expect a £10 note in the post when i do it?

Can you do it Lee?

 

[Joe24]

No and.....of course.

I want to see a video of you doing it then.
What else can you do? I have sort of tried to learn to do it with one foot on front wheel, one foot on pedal but cant hold that for long

 

[Garz]

PM guys?

 

[Sam Kennedy]

I managed to do a no-hander standing up quite a few months ago(maybe last year, I can't remember!), by doing what Joe24 said, but I was moving, and it was only for a few seconds.

I can't track stand, I've tried, my record is like 5 seconds or something.
