Now, I would say they are MUCH less weird than the map-tile collector bunch, who seem to be much more numerous!
I'm a fan of weird, by the way. And niche.

I'm 99% sure at one point they had a rule of 'no panniers' on their rides, coulndn't find it on the website today.

It's not easy, had a couple of scary moments, but once you get the knack of it and it's a lot of fun.

You mean 'dinglespeed'
Audax is weird to most people
As someone who rides audaxes I'd agree. My cycling club consider me very odd for doing them, even though they're happy to travel overseas for a 4-5 hour ride with a café stop or two.

I've been on one of those, got plenty of beer but felt we didn't cycle far enough😁

I am going to do 100 km on it singlespeed on my Garforth forum ride on Saturday, then I am going to convert it to a, er...You mean 'dinglespeed'
... quadraspeed!
(It will be used almost all of the time in just 1 gear but I am adding a bailoUt gear for steep climbs to give me a chance to do lumpier routes. The other 2 cogs will just be to improve the chainline and let me pedal downhill without spinning out.)

Little by little @ColinJ invents the geared bicycle.
