I am seriously considering attaching at least one England flag to my pannier rack to show support of the football team, am I alone in this?
Also has anyone done this in the past with any consequences? (good or bad)

Hey UndercoverElephant, is the BeOne a semi-compact frame? A 53cm would be small right?
I'm tempted to get the carbon BeOne Race frame if the price is right.0 -
My GF got a text last night, something along the lines of:
The government are worried that men's penises are getting smaller so they have asked that any men with a 3 inch penis or smaller to please put a white flag with a red cross on their car.
KInd makes me laugh when I see a flag now!0 -

Hi there. I'm not sure if it is, it's quite traditional in its geometry, to be honest. Mine is the 59cm, it has a 58.5 cm top-tube, I would say that's a large. Working backwards, I would expect the 56 to be medium, and 53 to be small.
I love my BeOne.0 -

True Spen, we go out all to early, usually in a blaze of glorious failure. However, these days we cannot even get that, as we cannot qualify for anything.
I will be on Easter Island viewing an eclipse on the day of the World Cup final. and am hoping that Chile will be in the final. The atmosphere on the most remote island in the world if their national team was in the final would be amazing."Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -

Hatred? I see no hatred.... I see good natured banter, i see jelousey from Scotland that we will not be at the table, that we are not good enough... I see the 44 years of torture that scots have suffered by being reminded of Englands triumph in 1966, but pleaaaase no hatred at all."Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -

It is sad to see how far Scotland have fallen from England in footballing terms since the 70s/ 80s
Since really about the Spanish World Cup in 1982 Scotland have fallen away. Is it a co incidence that the Home Internationals ended around this time.
PS Who that saw it can ever forget that Archie Gemmill goal in 1978?Want to know the Spen666 behind the posts?

What makes you say that?
I've sympathy with Scots at how far their team has fallen away in recent years as I posted.
Also as I posted in earlier post- Scotland have never got beyond group stage in any major tournament. In fact they have gone out in finals in group stage more than any other nationWant to know the Spen666 behind the posts?

Spen is welcome up here anytime, the worst that will happen to him is a hangover and being eaten alive by midges...."Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -
The great thing about the world cup is that whenever it is the England team is about to be knocked out the roads are nice and empty for a couple of hours
Great time to get a few miles in0 -
