Let me Google that for you.
Concerned About Wind Turbines - durgh.
Yep, tried Googling and didn't come up with anything of use! I've never seen anyone use it, and LOLcat appears to have done it at least 77 times according to Google.0 -

nope, on my way into work on my hard tail mtb i saw too guys on there way into work on new mtbs giant not sure the other one.
they certainly didnt look the road type of rider for sure.
I did laugh other night on my way home when a guy was riding a road bike down the muddy canal paths and looked totally out of his depth and i could go over the bumps not worrying if i was going to crack the bike frame or not.0 -
Grip and mud clearance are more the issues, I've taken cheeky shortcuts down bridleways a number of times on my road bike.0

If only there were a bike which was a road bike on the roads, then you could take it off road and it's a MTB etc0

Same here, quite regularly ride gravel railway paths without issue. Just that cleaning the bike after is a pain, especially if it's been wet.0 -

Now that is funny. Government statistics don't lie. Do you still believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy too?
And you do realise that even minor injuries like a broken finger go into the governments "KSI" figures?
So let's get this straight then do you not believe the statistics in terms if numbers if deaths and serious injuries? If anything they would undercook the figures as they have road safety quotas to meet?
And why can you not just make one reply insted of five on the bounce....increasing your post count does not increase your chances of getting laid...0 -

These days it seems that no one can get laid without going on the Internet. Back in my day, when you wanted to get laid you had to go to a nightclub and make a tit of yourself.

"Can't argue with that" - standard internet abbreviation, used by millions of people. Not my fault if you're just a bit slow.2) Why can't you type more than one response per post? The last 5 posts are all you, just put it in one post FFS!
Is that really all you have to whine about? You need to get out more.Can we be clear here - are you saying that road cycling is more dangerous than riding a motorbike?
For urban commuters yes, definitely (although much of that is brought on by their own stupidity and arrogance).0 -

Tbh, I don't know who's worse - them or the mamils...
I know who's worse than both. mamobmso (middle aged men on big motorbikes, small obvious)
CAWT either. Luckily I'm not middle aged, have a middleweight motorbike and a considerably larger than average obvious.0 -

Because I can't be ars*d scrolling up and down, cutting and pasting and adding quote brackets and names, when i can simply just click on the "quote" button. If that really bothers you so much then you really need to get a life.0 -

And yet you're the only person on this site of (I imagine) c10,000 users who appears to have used it. Weird.0 -
I'd say it is because it could mean the complete opposite, by changing one word.

I like to hiss at roadies in Lycra when i see them...
Personally I feel these days with traffic getting heavier and so on that bicycles and cars are becoming less compatible in terms of using the same roads. There are more idiot drivers about than ever before(and cyclists).
But the biggest thing to me is a human body competing with about 1.5tonnes of metal that can do 0-60 in under 10seconds.. Doesn’t matter how much you pay attention, if some monkey swipes you with a car it’s going to hurt and this puts me off massively as a driver and a cyclist. A lot of motorist don’t get the concept that they are driving a huge killing machine at the end of the day around rather fragile human bodies.
This is purely my personal feelings on cycling on road, and i don’t claim it to be the be all end all, but you have to admit it’s scary when a lorry comes flying past at 60 on a lane not giving adequate space!0 -
