Default Female cyclists.

Whilst I agree ,in genera,l the females are (on average) lovely people
do we really need them clogging up our highways with their lack
of positionl awareness?

I post this as an open question, I have no view either way myself :O|

I had better not post this actually.

regards

galf_pint.

Actually, I'm glad you did. It's taken you from the point where I was
only 99% sure you were a troll rather than just a naturally clueless
phenomenon of utter wrongness up to the magic 100% mark, so now I can
safely ignore you.

Half_pint isn't just a troll; he writes three paragraphs with so much
internal logical inconsistency that I doubt I'll have any fun playing
with him.

Nul points.

Beat me to it. I wasn't quite as sure; there seemed a real possibility
he was merely suffering from a personality disorder. This calculated
troll removes that doubt.

I am totally for female. cyclists!

Following a nice, fit female cyclist in her lycra is always guaranteed to
put another 1 or 2 mph on my average!

Round here they all look like Margaret Rutherford in tweed suits,
their bicycles have wicker baskets, and they are still faster than me!

I suspect that this may be someone else pretending to be half_wit for the
purposes of joke comedy trolling. /Why/ anyone should want to be mistaken
for the original half_wit, however, is a question best considered while
drunk.

I dare you to say that withing hearing (and punishment) range of
any of the female cyclists I know. They tend to have excellent spatial
and positional awareness.

He has changed newfeed and address, but it does seem to be the same half_wit.
(As for "why would anyone pretend to be him", I suspect the answer would be
to provoke more people into killfiling him and ignoring him, instead of
responding to him.)

I would be inclined to agree except for the fact that half_wit is
pretty much beyond parody.
