    The event took place yesterday in forest street, not far from the station in Drumgelloch in the evening at precisely 10 to eight a cyclist spoke politely to a group of cyclists from a club that was not named but are apparently well known for their abysmal road craft going the other way and they did not acknowledge his politeness in fact they went out of their way to ignore said cyclist, and this was not the first time this has happened.

    I thought he was pretty clear :roll:

    This thread is the forum equivalent of posting a Facebook status indicating you're upset about something without giving details, and it's so so so obvious you want people to ask you about it. Bit sad really.

    The correct response is "What's up hun?"

    Bit more info req.If your genuine in your coments then naming the club (which will then give them a chance to reply) would not be bad form.
    As far as bad road craft goes,we all have stories to tell.

    No, I'm allergic to being sued.

    Can you be sued for telling the truth? Or are you implying that your story may contain defamatory comments?
  • Why would an amateur cycling club sue? How much money do you think they would hav for legal advice anyway?

    OP. Stop wasting our time with your cryptic comments about 'I saw an arrogtant roadie once' and email the club politely explaining what happened and why you take issue with it. If the clubs senior members won't do anything about it (they probably will) then you can't do anything else anyway but this thread is a waste of time.

    It was what he said...

    19:50 tonight, A89, Drumgelloch.Is there some part of 'do not even ****ing speak to me' that you're having problems understanding? Hmm? I know who you are by the way, even though I'm not going to name the club concerned on a public forum; but guess what, your roadcraft is STILL ****ing abysmal.

    ...obvious innit :D

    OK Snowdon emailed me :roll:

  • "Is there some part of 'do not even ****ing speak to me' that you're having problems understanding? "

    I still don't understand who said what. It sounds like the OP said 'don't speak to me..." in which case someone must have said something to him and he replied in a very rude manner and completely out of order.

    If someone from the cycle club said it to the OP, then they were very rude and out of order but did not completely ignore the OP.

    Something not adding up for me. Sounds like both parties have a grudge.

    Funny thread though!

    if I had to guess I'd say the op's wife left he for a roadie, or when he was younger he walked into his parents room whilst his dad was working away and found a pair of bib shorts on the floor and a strange man 'wrestling' with mummy!

    just a guess!

    Cursing and getting all riled up on a public forum works for me too! Let's be friends!


    I like it matey. our club doesn't need others to moan about road craft, we can winge about each other whilst on forums, on the club run or in the pub.

    Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.

    I got the message alert in my mail box, I thought" Keurgelindy's not come back has he?! What for more sh1t shovelling?" ....and then the deep dissapointment. I put the popcorn away, sigh. Its all a bit too much like the decals thread.
