Doubling Up On Road

No it wouldn't. Comparing a Bratwurst Munching Wankmobile to a Colnago? Have you completely lost your mind??

Ah, that sounds like fun, however I do prefer British sportscars.

Triangle shaped TVR's?

BTW Giles/Bicycle etc, check out youtube for Patrick Snijers in the Isle of Man TT.

Utterly awesome driving.

I bloody loves cars!

I just hate beemers.

I did too.

Then I bought an M5

Then I bought an e30 325 and turned it into a track/race car.

Mind changed

Some of the race prepped e30 M3's are absolutely stunning.


OMFG - thread tangent

It's nice to see some cyclists that like their cars too

In the interests of balance, I find driving a tiresome chore, and cars tedious money sinks that some people expect me to give a sh*t about solely because I posess a Y chromosome.

Couldn't manage without ours, but I begrudge every wasted minute I spend in it, and every pound poured into the damned thing. Thank god we don't have to engage in the daily parking wars along our street (by virtue of only having one car, and keeping it on the drive, both of which seem to be alien concepts to many households nearby).

That's fine John

No need for , we are of that.

Triangle shaped TVR's?

Definately not. I prefer things to look good.

As good as this?

 

[John the Monkey]

That's fine John

In the interests of greater understanding, and so forth

FWIW, I find enthusiasts are (mostly) pretty pleasant to share the road with, largely because they give a sh*t about how they drive, and take a degree of pride in it.

EDIT: Too many mostlys. Like Newt out of off of Aliens. Mostly.

Where to start?

How does my opinion supporting considerate riding and dividing overly large groups of cyclists into smaller groups justify you saying that i am mentally ill.
Seems to me like the cowardly bullies way of stifling an opinion he doesnt agree with.

Good try, change of topic whilst rehashing previous posts through your own filter, 9/10 !

Not biting ,sorry!

Good points.
I was thinking 6 to 8 for normal (non event) type road groups with no special supervision or additional safety provision.
I see your point and my point is just a common sense based one on what we from a standpoint of best practice should be recommending.
I think the sportive like you refer to are great and should be embraced and encouraged.
If the organisers can make it work and its aok then thats fine , if there are any saftey concerns to cyclists taking part then , i dont know the road or area but would closing the road to public traffic be at all possible.

I personally think that closing all the roads would infuriate drivers a thousand times more than having to overtake some cyclists.

That does look good.
