Fold up bikes are for clowns. You can trust me on this because they actually look like clown bikes.

 

[weepiper]

dutch bikes outside of holland, anyone who says "all bikes in germany have lights, rack and mudguards", anyone who says "i saw someone do it on the internet and it was fine", mobile phone handlebar mounts, rapha, respro- burn them all!

this is more like it

 

[Boycey]

is gloopy horribleness you can put inside your tubes to fill punctures when you get them- they inevitably wind up spraying over the poor person asked to inflate them...

aerowheels! carbon spokes! have you ever got a carbon fibre splinter from some cunts second hand spinergy? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarhgghgh!!!!!!!

 

[fredfelt]

folding bikes, electric assisted bikes, lock brackets, full mudguards, dynamo lighting, guarded chains, shimano nexus, solid tyres, lycra, co2 tube refills, tube 'goo', saddlebags, shimano sti for mtb, retro styling for retro's sake, leather bar tape, carbon saddles, plastic toeclips, nylon toestraps, p clips, front racks and many many more are all for cunts

You are having a fucking laugh mate. OK. Some of those items are for cunts, but not all.

A point in case being your disdain of both 'full mudguards' and 'retro styling for retro's sake'

For a city bike the only reason grounds you could object to full mudguards would be styling. Then in the same breath you critise retro styling.

full mudguards with stays are a. retro and b. for cunts

[Orang Utan]

What's "tube goo"?

I have mountain bike mudguards on mine so have to go legs akimbo when I hit a deep puddle - and they're barely CTC-legal ..

yes but the splinter was lighter, no? thus faster.

 

[mattie]

I look good in lycra. Until I hit a pothole and it all wobbles.

And brooks saddles - anachronistic victoriana shit. Maybe we should cover up table legs and treat madness with leeches too eh?

 

[Orang Utan]

what?

 

[Sigmund Fraud]

If you can't appreciate the difference in ride between a 3k mountain bike and a £300, you may want to try cycling something other than a canal side footpath.

When you drive into his head theres a sign saying 'Welcome to Lemon Eddy's Brain - twinned with Pedantsville, Numptyland.

 

[mauvais]

bike sat nav, camlebacks, helmets and hi-viz.

Oh no, I was doing so well until these.

[geminisnake]

e2a: after 80ish miles on my fixie last week, I nearly died*

*death by posing

Why am I not surprised about this idea from YOU?

 

[gentlegreen]

Your 80, my 46.

 

[tommers]

it IS a fight thread.

 

[Herbsman.]

i can't tell the difference between an aluminium and a steel frame

lol

 

[geminisnake]

well i can't tell the difference between an aluminium and a steel frame and i'm happy to remain ignorant

Well I hate to leave someone being ignorant so a) try lifting it and b) try attaching a magnet on the frame. It won't stick to aluminium.

The great thing about your list is it does highlight your tendency to talk out of your hole.

Merino is the fucking material of the gods - warm when cold, cool when warm, and doesn't loose all insulation when cold. Oh, and after a day on the ride, you don't stink like all fuck. Camelbacks? What the cocking cock are you mooking about you ignorant gimp - you like to lick grit off bottles before having a drink...oh fuck, my mistake, I forgot you were a road based pissant feared to stray off the flat. Well, for anyone who's not feartie about leaving the tarmac, they're a rather splendid idea. Helmets? Fucking helmets? OK, in your case I see why protecting the skull is a tad on the futile side, but for everyone with a functioning cortex they serve a purpose.
