Really? He's not aware of any cycling whatsoever? tour de france, olympics where the uk won a significant amount of gold etc etc
I agree with you though. Crazy!!
Put him on a road bike and see what he's like then. Probably brakes on downhill straights with no traffic!
I think the formal team name is GB and NI but so what, the nation is UK, so I'd say the phrase wasn't inaccurate.
Though why I'm bothering to reply I've no idea!
Cause as usual I'm right, I appreciate being backed up... Eke back to your fail threadPurveyor of sonic doom

How do you define the ones that keep going at the same speed regardless ? I regularly pass one guy who nods along at the same speed and doesn't stop for anything - red lights, pedestrian crossings, etc0

Then there are the other guys. You know the type. In their 60s on a touring bike that go the same speed regardless of slope.
I often pass them on the flat thinking "good on you" only for them to silently pass me on the next hill. There is one guy in our club, a bit younger but nevermind, that always appears to be in the same gear, at the same cadence and yet maintains his place in the bunch regardless of gradient :shock: I don't know why or how but it really does my head in.None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -

I was oot and aboot in Glasgow this morning (on foot) and was pleasantly surprised at the number of bikes on the go. I saw a few dodgy manoeuvres though - people playing with cars on the squinty bridge.
