Especially when you consider the 4th power rule

Yeah. I commented along the lines of β€œanybody on a bike ride is a cyclist” and got back madness!

You seem to have forgotten that there’s always someone stronger than you who could be saying exactly the same thing to you.

If someone’s on a bike ride with you, they’re a cyclist.

Get over yourself.

Those β€œraised ironworks” can be brutal. Totally see the need for 4WD.

That and having just moved onto the new estate he (it’s definitely a he) has to make sure everyone know he has a really really small penis.

β€œThese reckless idiots give us all a bad reputation”. So when you said β€œall”, who do you mean?

How does someone on a motorbike in Paris give me on my pedal bike in the UK a β€œbad reputation”?

That’s what they did in the last fuel crisis.

It was in the Netherlands at the time of the last oil crisis. All it takes is political will.

Petrol prices gone up?
Walking and cycling are still FREE

Petrol prices gone up? Walking and cycling are still FREE

Worried about #PetrolPrices rising?

Many car journeys are short enough to walk or cycle, and these remain free (and healthy)

You’re right. Doing neither is definitely the best course of action, but because a lot of drivers can’t seem to keep their car in a straight line and out of the spaces reserved for people bikes, we need things like the concrete slab. It’s not a risk for any competent driver

Which would you prefer? Pop your tyre and dent your wheel on some concrete or kill a cyclist?

Wait, what? So in France you don’t have to pay any taxes if you ride a bike? Wow! Why doesn’t everyone do it?

I had a 1987 Turbo 8v with brown velour sports seats. They were the best seats in any car ever

But people did say this about Schumacher and Ferrari. In the end they changed the rules in F1 to try to stop him winning.

Tell that to the psychopath who β€œovertook” me today. By β€œovertook” I mean moved her wrist to the right by a movement so small that you’d have needed an electron microscope to see it. If I could have unclipped, I would have kicked the side of her car. And for what? I was doing 20mph in a 20mph zone.

Would you also apply that logic to people pushing pushchairs? Or wheelchair users?

80 bikes per train! 80!!! Even if you book a space on @gwr.com, you’re likely to get there and find that the two (yes, 2. In total. For the whole train) spaces have been taken by someone storing their luggage.

The black will contrast nicely against the white of the salt covered roads and having your d lock on the handlebars keeps it nice and handy for smashing mirrors!

Fair play but that’s a vicious looking bird.

Is every animal in Australia out to kill you?

I read a story of a kangaroo that not only punched a guy to the floor, but then also held his head under water! That’s beyond self-defence!

That’s gorgeous! I’d like that a lot!

Driver jailed for killing Aalia Mahomed in van crash on Strand Student Aalia Mahomed, 20, was described as the

No mention of a driving ban. I also think it’s complete rubbish that he mistook the brake for the accelerator. I’ve driven lots of different vehicles and that has never happened to me.

Yes. That’s it. She is a walking dustbin on top of chewing because she’s teething.

I last had a Labrador when I was little and my parents got her when she was already a bit older and bit trained.

My one is 9 months old and just eats everything. Most recently my used brake pads from last week! FFS!

She ate a punnet of grapes yesterday and they’re meant to be toxic to her.

I know what it’s like to be that scared so sending you best wishes.

Have you reported to the police? I know it might be that not much happens, but at least you can feel like you’ve done something.

That’s what we keep on saying about Wales, but it’s been through gritted teeth recently!

I would so love to sit in front of these people in person and say β€œit is free to enjoy nature. What isn’t free is storing your private property somewhere while you do it”
