As I stated early on in the essay, "I want to emphasize that I fully support the novice (or expert!) cyclist who doesn’t give a rat’s ass what is “done” and what is not, and cheerfully flies in the face of convention." You should not let any guidelines, from anybody, deter you from riding.Dana Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488621586586091954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737851275453020904.post-61991401451737883032016-07-25T15:50:17.363-07:002016-07-25T15:50:17.363-07:00This shit puts me off riding my bike.

(Perhaps you grasp all that and are just being snarky, which I must say you're good at; I particularly enjoyed your phrase "rinse the piss.") I highly recommend you go over to http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/ and sprinkle your vitriol upon them ... I think they're a much bigger target than I.Dana Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488621586586091954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737851275453020904.post-25988485442403531272015-07-01T14:55:06.263-07:002015-07-01T14:55:06.263-07:00I had a quick check with our cycling group and the...I had a quick check with our cycling group and the biggest thing, to a person, 100% of us thought was most idiotic and heinous - was people who thought they should invent rules about what should be done on a bike.<br /><br />And FYI, that person with the big sock in your image you took such pleasure in trying to humiliate, is actually wearing a compression aid for a muscle injury.<br /><br />However, I shall heed your advice and your rules and I shall absolutely rinse the piss out of one of our lads in the group who has a saddle bag. He has it for his insulin because he is diabetic - but you know what, he is breaking the rule. <br /><br />What a loser he is. <br /><br />Thank you, the world is a better place with these kind of rules and people like you for sharing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737851275453020904.post-62582418868767828822015-06-24T10:44:22.509-07:002015-06-24T10:44:22.509-07:00Dads, when acting as Sherpas, are exempt from the ...Dads, when acting as Sherpas, are exempt from the rules of Fredsmanship.
