Some threads seem to keep popping up with annoying regularity:
    Turbo or rollers? Can I wear a yellow/green/polka dot/World Champion jersey? Should I wear pants under my cycling shorts? How do I win a sportive? Will weight training improve my cycling? Should I wear a helmet? Best bike for £1000?
Have I missed any?

    Will I be condemned to an eternity in Hell if I listen to earphones while cycling? I know I shouldn't but I'll try to mitigate it and hopefully gain your collective acceptance by promising only to do it on quiet roads.

    Followed swiftly by a sarcastic allusion to the helmet debate within 3-4 posts.

    What lights?
    Cyclists without lights!
    Cyclists with too many lights
    Commuters with lights at the wrong angle
    Commuters with lights that are too bright
    How do I attach my lights?
    Commuters with orange lights
    Commuters with lights that blink too fast
    Commuters with lights that blink too slow
    How many lumens do I need?
    Look how f***ing bright my new lights are!
    I bought a front light from Poundland, is that enough?
    I have lights on my bike and someone still tried to run me over!
    Where can I buy lights from eBay that aren't dodgy?
    I'm wearing a reflective jacket do I need a light?
    Pedestrians don't wear lights!
    It's dark, do I need lights?

    "I want to buy a Canyon but i don't know my size" (Answer: don't know your size, don't get one)

    "Which Chinese "______(Frame, Wheels, Clothing e.t.c.)" should I buy?" (Answer: It doesn't matter 'cos they're generic products)

    "Why is "_____(Assos, Rapha, Pinarello e.t.c.)" brand so ridiculously more expensive than "_____" brand(s)?" (Answer: 'Cos they can. And people still buy the products when the prices are high)

    ""_____" Professional team/rider does "_____" but clearly "_____" is better or they should doing "_____", why are they so stupid?" (Answer: They are sponsored so they ride what they're given and/or you are wrong in your misconceptions about "____" being better)

    There are many many more which crop up time and again. Mainly based on misinformation and/or myths. Same answers always given.

    As for epic (i don't use that word as loosely as most!) threads then the Speed_King BE WARNED debacle was 'effin awesome! Oh and steelem's mum owning some eBay seller like some sort of eBay mafioso.
