To the commuting forum; looks like Kitty and MissBint's 'reputation' is growing:
This may very well be the greatest thread on bikeradar!
Two of the peeps who replied are even considering buying a mountain bike after reading the thread

Whoah, the commuting forum has a sense of humour, who would have known. I swear the local AIDS house is full of more joy than that part of the forum.0

No, they don't seem to approve of it... however I've added my comment which may upset one or two of the tree huggers...0

Just remember, most of these people ride bikes to get to work, there is no joy in their lives. They feel no happiness as the sit behind the lorry sucking in co2. The don't get the simple pleasures of cycling such as carving a beautiful piece of singletrack, hitting that drop for the first time, floating over a double or finding out if a pretty lady on the internet swallows or spits0

Yeah cycling to them is just a means to an end, it's how they have to travel, a bike is a tool to them. Very much like in my younger days of Doing fat hookers, I didn't enjoy it but it was the most efficient way of emptying my abnormally large and overfilled testes.0

fpmsl! its like an American high school around here but with less hot chicks, loving the cliques!
hmmm ride to work or cram into a train or sit in traffic? this so called missery is amazing fun and when I dust off my 20kg mountain bike, the 'cool kids' I hang around with get left behind on the trails 
As long as its got two wheels, its all good. Now what shall I go with today, the roadie, brompton, hardtail or full suss?0 -
The difference, iPete, is that when we ride to work, we're just doing that, riding to work. It is not a hobby that has any reason to be meaningfully discussed with others.
Our hobby/passtime/sport/whatever you want to call it, is mountain biking.
What the hell is the point of a whole forum dedicated to cycling to work? I don;t get it. What do you weirdos discuss that's so different to roadies or MTBers? The best trouser clip? Which socks are best to tuck your kecks into? How can you look like more of a hipster knobmuncher?0 -
yeehaamcgee, you have a boring ride to work and much hatred
Its no different to any clique here, routes & gear except its not a hobby, its a forum that combines people with many different hobbies, the roadies, mountain bikers, tourers, utility riders, fixed gear fakengers, you name it.
Personally I'm into fitness, all cycling, not giving South West Trains £2000 a year and getting the miles in for Ironman. When I run to work am I suddenly not a runner? 0 -
Sorry, i'd have posted a reply sooner but I was posting on a thread about best leather heated seats on the drivingmycartoworkradar forum 0

How is discussing routes in any way useful? Surely the only people who would use the same route to work as you would bepeople who lived next to you, and worked in the same place. And you, presumably, would see them quite often, so why not just talk to them face to face.iPete wrote:Its no different to any clique here, routes & gear except its not a hobby, its a forum that combines people with many different hobbies, the roadies, mountain bikers, tourers, utility riders, fixed gear fakengers, you name it.
I am still none the wiser as to why the hell you'd want a forum for ""commuting"0 -

Your not from round here are you? aka London. It's a big place with a lot of roads and routes.
Given that I was chatting to 2 other BR users yesterday on my route to work =
If you've never ridden into the city and joined the peleton on CS8, you're never going to be wise to the fun.0 -
Nope, definitely not from London. No idea what position, or action a "peloton" is, and no idea who CS8 is.
But I know Londoners are intensely strange, bafflingly impersonal, which is one of the reasons I hate the place.
And I see how Lndoners would prefer to communicate together through forums, rather than talk to people who they are riding next to.0 -

Only here the flaming is more subtle and people say 'f**k' more. How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

There's nothing gay about commuting to work, you get shafted by car's on the way, shafted by the boss when you're there and a good old shafting on the way back by a BMW !0
