"Are you on Bikeradar?"

edited May 2010 in Commuting chat
When talking to another (random) cyclist or when in a bikeshop do you ever drop "bikeradar" into the conversation to see if they're also on the website.

I did do this but now after many many arguments I find I conseal the fact that I'm DonDaddyD in fear that I might receive a jolly good kick-in...

    I know someone who sometimes goes on the MTB section. I've not asked their username.

    No, but I mentioned the 'Puncture Fairy' and the guy looked at me as if I'd two heads

    I've never said anything here I wouldn't say to someone's face.

    I don't believe in all that keyboard warrior bullshit

    Sometimes I wonder if other people I see are familiar with SCR, but I've never asked.

    Two roadies I talked to recently understood the game and played it as well - but never knew of the rulebook having been written.

    I've mentioned this website a few times (and other forums) if I feel it would help someone with a particular issue.

    That pic of the Techno Viking... I miss my own Viking beard. Now I have just a short trimmed one, but it was growing for over a year

    Never asked anyone although the people I have met from the forum are generally OK - don't think I'd have a problem if anyone asked me and I'd be happy to ride with DDD on the grounds that he would do all the talking :wink:

    Actually when on the bike I tend not to talk as much, concentrating...

    When in public I'm usually well manered pleasent and reserved, unless I'm drunk or you've gotten to know me, then all class goes out the window... ask Lits or Coriander.

    Generally speaking my behaviour depends on the surroundings. Time and a place.
