Well it made me laugh... I fully agree with the sentiment - its just not right. Then again, in this weather I tend to wear T-shirts. Not sure that at 63 yrs old, that's right either......

Well it made me laugh... To be fair there are even some pro cyclists who don't look great in it, even at my fittest I wasn't happy at the way I looked in it (when actually on the bike in an aero position). They feel the need because they are well aware that baggy clothes would slow them down even more, by quite a significant amount 👍 Go to any town centre (normally) and you'll find people looking a lot worse but nobody seems to find it necessary to verbally abuse them and on the odd occasion throw things out of their car / van window at them. They should make cycling a religion or "race", then it'd be hate crime - I do of course jest, but many a true word and all that ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted April 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Another 3 weeks, and I'm glad the government aren't being drawn into giving an exit plan when they simply don't know if in three weeks we will be coming out of the woods or not.

Mice! Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 According to the radio this morning Spain are lifting restrictions with kids allowed outside for the first time in 6 weeks!! Its been like a summer fair on the river near me, never seen so many people out walking enjoying the sunshine. And apparently Boris is back at Downing street now, with the main question being when will lockdown be lifted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
