I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

I don't fit.
Why is it acceptable to be so discriminatory and predjuiced toward people who like to ride a bicycle?
Is it becuase picking other targets is not socially acceptable any more?
Seem to me that the only two targets left for derision by such people are cyclists and teenagers.0 -
Have left a comment on there, lets see if it gets publishedThe Hugo:
Spends all his time stuck in traffic wishing he'd bought a bike and lost a few lbs. Gets into the office and makes up generalisations on his PC when he should be working
;-P0 -
Wow, do any of these people exist? I don't think I've ever seen someone that fits into the 'Tweed Pedallers' or 'school run mums' catergory. Maybe it's just Cardiff and this is typical of London cyclists.
Did he talk to some 'fringe' cyclists and make them out to be 'the norm' or did he just make up a load of crap based on his own limited experience and predjudice???0 -
Suck it up you guys! I thought it was quite funny myself. These sorts of things are generally pro-cycling, as a non-cyclist wouldn't get it. :roll:
Besides, possibly he's done some research round here...Clive has a pink Lycra leotard and doesn’t think that’s anything to be ashamed about0 -
..well the webmaster has a sense of humour. 3 of our comments have been approved.0

Have to confess that while I don't fit into any category, I thought the article was amusing and I've seen all of the categories that he mentioned. There are of course many more.Pain is only weakness leaving the body0

I have seen all of the above in and around Exeter in my time. I don't really fall into any of the above, but I do come close to the Urban Speedster although I don't wear pink
The Commander now officially falls into the Bromptonite category :P I feel the need to take the p*ssOfficers don't run, it's undignified and panics the men0 -
none of the above! :roll:0

Lighten up people. I'd totally be a an urban warrior but I'll be damned before I lock my bike up anywhere that isn't my flat or the secure parking at my office.0

Urban Warrior - actually slightly overweight elderly Urban Warrior - I must admit to carrying a pump, and spare tube but not to living in Bristol0

Some of you seem to be taking the article just a bit too seriously,I don`t think it`s prejudiced, just a bit of fun.Lighten up.Smarter than the average bear.0
-
Are you saying you are hapy to be opressed by FACSISTS???!0
-
-
I think you are going to have to explain yourself,it`s too subtle for me.
Also,Tardington, WTF is a FACSIST?Smarter than the average bear.0 -
Used to be a typical Urban Warrior but have just done the unthinkable and bought a roadie for the commute.
Guess that renders me temporarily tribe-less as I haven't been brave enough to ditch the baggies and show off my pink lyrca justy yet!0 -
Wait a minute, I work in IT... camo shorts...bag strapped up high on back...special shoes that don’t let you take your feet off the pedals...no gears...bike covered in tatty insulation tape... OH NO I'M A FAKENGER!!Bianchi Via Nirone Veloce/Centaur 20100

A dislexic facist ? :?0 -
Very little I recognised there. Of course the comedy would have been in accurate observation...you can't just make it up and expect it to be funny.0

is that anything like a fascist?0 -
I've seen quite a few of those types around the north-east of scotland. Yes there's always going to be those that don't fit. I don't fit in any of them, but I still find it funny and can relate to a good percentage of them.0

i wouldn;t normally be so pedantic but a comment on someone's spelling that contained a mispelling of the same word - well it was just too much.0 -
