    You made the error of listening to anything a chav has to say.

  • This is why seatpost clamps are quick release, they make an ideal improvised "battle axe" and are available in seconds also invest in some scott dh xtreme downhill gloves ideal for punching with no broken knuckles !! http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/ ... oves-28082 - they also work a treat on cars that get too close ! :lol:

    We wear helmets because we have something worth saving :wink:

    Though I'd have just told the chav to f*ck off, it's not witty or clever but it works for me 8)

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:
  • Well I am brand new to MTB, so I've got no experience in being asked why I look like a pleb wearing a helmet ... but it'll come!

    just ignore them. what's the point of doing anything else?
  • Walking syphilis farms the lot of 'em.

    Not content with pumping their degenerate sperm into the clapped out bucket of the nearest female of their species, they compell themselves to loiter in public and shower you with half-formed sentances and spittle.

    I had a group of them drive slowly past me while I was riding to a local park.
    The passenger leant out the window with the intent to hurl some abuse at me.
    The poor sap's addled mind obviously couldn't spur itself to speech however, as he just opened his mouth and went "whhhhaaaaayyyyyiiiiiaaahh" while his face contorted in what I can only imagine was a grimace of despair at the futility of his own existence.

    They are idiots - But idiots that are not bothered and don't think twice about having a go, or about using the knife they have in their pocket. Just stay away, I'm sure you'd rather be alive than having a go back at them, I know I would.
