Bicycle, crash hat and accident

[Peter Keller]

I am really honoured to be considered abnormal by the Medway Handyman.

[Capitol]

If you like getting wet.

[Nick]

Or don't like getting fat.

If I were a manual labourer and got enough exercise in everyday life I wouldn't bother cycling, but I sit on my arse all day.

Cycling to and from work is more hassle than taking the train or driving, but it takes about the same time and the advantage is I don't need to spend any extra time doing exercise.

Also unlike driving it means I'm not adding to the congestion.

I try to avoid the rainy days more for safety than the wet factor.

[Bod]

[Capitol]

I've done both, you still get wet.

[Bod]

[Mr Pounder]

So it is not really a viable and practical means of transport.

[Capitol]

Careful, being truthful will get you all sorts of abuse!

[Bod]

If you don't don't mind getting wet, of course it is.

Of course it is. So what would you say to the people who have a bicycle as their *only* form of transport? There are many.

[Bod]

Of course it is. So what would you say to the many people who have a bicycle as their *only* form of transport?

[Mr Pounder]

I would say that it is not really a viable and practical means of transport. The fact that you do not cycle in the rain supports this.

[Mr Pounder]

This is a very polite group which is only spoilt by cyclists posting to it.

[Capitol]

Top Gear answered your question. Work harder and get a car!

[Capitol]

There, corrected that for you!

[Mr Pounder]

I stand corrected.

[Bod]

I wasn't talking for other people, just my preference. I also choose to have a car, many choose not to have a car.

[Bod]

[Capitol]

Are they the ones who vote for Gordon Brown?

[Mr Pounder]

Are you really suggesting that apart from yourself other cyclepaths actually like to ride in the pissing down rain? I would dispute your statement that "many choose not to have a car".

[Mr Pounder]

Probably the ones that are incapable of drawing an X on a ballet paper.
