rules of cycling?

91 rules? ARE YOU MAD???
I read the first half dozen or so then realised that the author obviously has no life and is the sort of sad individual that thinks people read lists!!

I went out this morning. Opened the front door and saw it had started raining. I wondered wether to bother or not then thought about Rule 9, which I had only read a short while before after the OP's opening post. So I went and enjoyed my ride in the rain!

Oh, no, they make me chuckle! I don't think anyone is supposed to actually believe them, are they? More of an ironic self-observation of the vanity that stalks some corners of cycling. Mind you, I have (quite seriously without a hint of irony) been publicly chastised on group road rides for breaking rules #32, 34, 45, 60 and I scraped through on 31 by using a sawn-off bidon for my tools, but was told that though this might appear acceptable, caused me to breach 4, and potentially 26. The same guy, on seeing me break #59, told me I was "creating a corridor of uncertainty"! The very fact that this guy exists makes these 'rules' even more amusing to me.

#77 is actually a good rule.

The SSG (Slough Splinter Group, as I have just christened those of us in the "Hello from Slough" thread), are regularly in breach of #56, with our beverages of choice ranging from cappuccino, through caffè latte to the indulgent 'flat white' (You know who you are @Norm). None of us have ever knowingly consumed an espresso macchiato whilst wearing Lycra.

The rules are great fun! Not meant to be taken seriously. I break many of them. I have a saddlebag, and I definitely wouldn't do a four hour ride on water alone!

Not meant to be taken seriously ? Ahem rules are rules.

Rule no. 1 and all that. Closely followed by rule no. 2

You know what they say, rules are for breaking. And risks are for taking.
