Oops, that was poorly written. I read the link after posting this.

Also poorly written. I meant "doesn't come here to talk about cycling"

No, but then I never really have. I describe myself as liking bikes. And I
annoy myself by not bothering to go out on them for pleasure, partly because
I moved away from nice countryside to unpleasant and vaguely threatening
suburbia. Sadly, I work too far away to cycle or cycle-train commute, and
all my social stuff seems to be a long way away, too. Still, unfit as I
feel, I get the odd ride in, and I normally do OK. My health's been poor,
too.
That said, I do feel hypocritical about the amount of non-cycling posts I
post here, but at least my modus operandi is to discuss rather than argue.
Still, every bit of needling to get my hub dynamo connected, and my mountain
bike lights charged, and to do my errands by bike and to do some night
riding is helpful. If only I hadn't gone past people having sex in public
last time I was on an evening ride when it was still light, I might be doing
a lot more night riding. I love it.
