"Hi any cyclists on here? No reason just nice to chat. Cheers Jim x
I haven't replied yet!
I’ve said this before. All cyclists are c*nts "
That is reserved for BMW, Mercedes Audi, 4x4 and van drivers  |

I believe that the "angry" cyclists that cause so much venom from drivers are a direct result if how "many" drivers treat them.
As a driver I never get sworn at or rude hand signals from cyclists, mainly because I'm not in a rush to overtake them. If it isn't safe to leave 6 foot and overtake, I will wait till there is. I don't assume an imaginary right of way because "I pay road-tax" or get annoyed because it might take me 30 seconds longer to get to the next red light.
As a cyclist, I do use the cycle lanes when they're suitable. They are there to "aid" cyclists though and are not compulsory. What I won't do is dismount at every junction or roundabout as many cycle paths instruct us to do... if I wanted to be a pedestrian, I would wear sensible shoes.

"Road and mountain bike. Prefer mountain bike but it’s easier to keep my fitness up on my road bike. "
I keep thinking about buying a decent mountain bike, but every time I look at one I get annoyed by how heavy it is.  |

Im a Road Cyclist, I live rurally so i’m use to quiet yet bumpy roads. Of course I get the odd bit of abuse from a passing motorist, but its dealt with quickly by a two fingered salute and a fuck off you knob head salutation.
The world is full if Dickheads, some ride bikes some drive vehicles.
Luckily there are more non-Dickheads in life to tip the scales in the right direction.
Its just one of them things.
What I would say is that, if there were no Dickheads there would also be no Non-Dickheads.
So in reality we all need each other.
Stay safe |

I’d guess my MTB is 3/4 times the weight of my roadie but my road bike is carbon. |

My best road bike is so light, I have to sit in it to stop it floating away, but a mountain bike, I'd need help to pick it up if I fall off (which I will) |

"A lot of you have it badly wrong c*nts are very useful cyclists definitely are not
To be fair I think that is hilarious... such wit and sense of humour...   "
Both mountain and road biking for me. And not all of us are bad  |

6.9 kilos is the UCI weight limit , anything lighter & you'll have weight added.. |

Orbea Occam 29 off road and my pride in joy is my dads Motobecane from 1981 that I had refurbished with modern parts but keeping the retro look, it is an absolute joy to ride. Quite fancy a new road bike or a gravel bike as a commuter |

"I have a Cannondale hybrid for long distance with panniers etc. A giant road bike when traveling light. Both quite new as others were stolen in York last year."
That sucks. I had 3 bikes stolen a few years ago in the same night.
Giant Defy 2 which I did the 2014 London 100 on
Giant Trance 1 which is my favourite bike I’ve owned
Giant Trinity triathlon bike that I’d only had a month.
I used to live about a mile from the Giant store in Liverpool. |

The Trance can put the cat out. Loved my Trance. The Spesh Stumpy is a good ripper too. |

Cycling is keeping me sane atm, main bike is a Carrera TDF ltd and I have an old school Rayliegh team banana for when I might not be just on the road.
Until recently I never realised how annoying motorists get when they can break the speed limit because you in the way. |

"oh my gawd now they got to bragging about their equipment"
There's no bragging, just discussing.
I don't understand why so many motorists are so Anti bike... if they were in their cars, the traffic would be so much worse. My bike never gets stuck in a traffic jam.

I did have a Boardman hybrid team but that got nicked at the start of the year 
So I'm back on my ol' faithful a 1998 GT Avalanche.
Seriously missing my hybrid though |
