Scalping

[tyred]

8 here. I selected tourer as bike type as all mine have mudgauards.

By the FCN rules you can only scalp someone that is better than you on that scale.

I dont think a scalp is a proper scalp unless you are both up for it. Doesn't matter what you are riding either, there needs to be a statement of intent or move from both parties otherwise forget it.

That's why it's called silly commuter racing, it's silly not serious, if full on shaven Tour de France jersey wearing roadie is overtaken it's a scalp whether their interested or not. It does not count if the scalpee un-scalps themselves.

Haha thats good. Never heard of that before. I'm a 2

 

[Bman]

Apparantly I'm a 6. I could get lower if I started wearing lycra and shaved my legs...

But apparantly the "cyclist" who scalped me the other day on his electric bike is FCN 17! There was no way I was catching him. If I had, I would expect it to count!

I know, read all of this SCR bollox on bikerader years ago - i hoped it would have died a death by now

As long as their are people commuting on bikes there will be SCR bollox going on.

Surely it's just a bit of fun though eh, not hurting anyone

Abosolutely but when I get someone drafting me from a foot back in heavy traffic and squeezing by where not suitable I'd like to think its because they are an idiot and not some sensible person playing a game

So, I'm FCN 6 and the youf on the faster newer bike is obviosly a 2. I don't feel so badly done to now.

Anyway. I'm sure I could have caught him if I tried .


Don't see anything on the FCN calculater for age .

As soon as someone does something dangerous and/or illegal it invalidates the race.

Personally in heavy traffic I would consider drafting dangerous.

im a 7, thanks to my beard for making a few people legitimate targets

Have to say i do like to chase people and am not often taken, but due to the time of day i commute its only lycra clad speed freaks about, can normally catch up and hang on. but never feel like giong past and then slowing them down as my legs tire

 

[al-fresco]

Wooohooo - FCN 12! Look out Bradley Wiggins!

 

[Shrimp_Stu]

I stop at every trafic light...I looooooooove catching up and overtaking other cyclists who jump red lights. Its practically the highlight of my commuite every day.

Had no idea it had a name though.

+1

Really? SCR has just gone up in my book a little then, at least its not condoning dangerous cycling
