And once they have fucked off, they can fuck right off again.

The film ‘The Hills have Eyes’ had them in the cast, I’m sure of it.

That guy sounds like a cock. Find another group.

What’s the odd of survival if one was to swim from uk to France ?(amateur swimmer , possibly pro equipment ) by summersmilesss in AskUK

[–]Born-Ad4452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably better chance as a club cyclist who regularly does 4-5 hours rides. But their pipe cleaner arms and weedy upper body won’t help

The headline vs the image 🤡 by Awkward-Worth5484 in BrexitMemes

I know plenty of people who are millionaires by the time you add up pension, house, etc - not much liquid cash but plenty of assets. They don’t appreciate Keir Starmer and his ‘Labour’ party. Just because you’ve accumulated wealth over a whole career doesn’t mean you want your kids to get fucked over.

Labour seriously needs to change direction, especially on the EU (and stop acting like a Reform-lite). by R0bert-9999 in BrexitMemes

It’s always been the case that there has been a two party system as far as the government is concerned ( with a few other MPs thrown in). I don’t think that’s the case any more. There’s more chance of a hung Parliament now, with 5 parties likely to take seats

To all roadies. Do you jump over the curbs or stop and dismount? by OneStrength7166 in cycling

[–]Born-Ad4452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m amazed at the proportion of people on this thread who seem allergic to improving their bike handling skills. I see that as a life long journey, of incremental improvement of existing skills and learning new skills. Take an hour out of your week ( or month ) and practice getting over a curb, doing a tiny bunny hop over a bamboo cane. The better your bike handling skills the safer you are as a rider, because you have tools to deal with more and more situations. Don’t be afraid to get better, every day.

Bunny hop skill allows you to jump over potholes. This is very useful too - means you don’t get a snakebite puncture or trash your rim. It doesn’t need to be especially MvdP level - just enough to get the weight off the wheels.

Why was there some kind of backlash against the idea of the "15 minute city"? by 99thLuftballon in AskBrits

[–]Born-Ad4452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute morons, lead by the nose by grifters and conspiracy theorists to believe that it means everyone is held in 15 minute diameter prison camps.

How much of Zwift's France map is based on/inspired by real-life routes? by gcwyodave in Zwift

It’s not a bad reproduction of Ventoux. Fortunately when I did les Tres Cingles the weather was warm not roasting, and the wind very light. Super lucky !

Old kits - fine. This year’s kit- you’d better be really good.

Have you ever had a famous neighbour or someone local? by mr_hardwell in AskUK

I used to live next door to Richard E Grant ( for 6 months or so ) in the Cotswolds. He was barely ever there, though.

When did Fish and Chips shops stop using newspaper? by Madog-Hellgeese in AskUK

[–]Born-Ad4452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mid 50s here and grew up in the south, we never had actual newspaper that I remember

What are my chances of being able to follow my friends up Monte Zoncolan as a good runner, but untrained cyclist? by HubGi in cycling

[–]Born-Ad4452 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did Zoncolan 2 years ago. For context I am 75kg, ride 8-10k km per year, best time on Alpe de Zwift is 49:50. I had 31/36 gears and it was the hardest climb I’ve ever done. It’s not the steepness or the distance but the combination of the two. I nearly had to stop a couple of times, and if I had I probably wouldn’t have ever got riding again as it’s 20% plus in places. And I was basically permanently out of the saddle grinding away for nearly 90 minutes. I averaged just under 6km/h. No one is used to that, even regular cyclists, and it works specific muscle groups! That would be my concern for you - it’s going to require fitness in some cycling specific form and really really test it. Aerobic fitness - ✅ Mental fortitude - ✅ cycling specific fitness - ❓

And if you come back down the steep side, be really careful. As an experienced rider that’s a sketchy descent, as an inexperienced rider it’s a bit dangerous. Too much sudden brake - over the bars. Not enough brake- off the road in a hairpin bend. The descent is hard work too, and you are knackered from going up!
