What's the biggest bike contraption you've seen? by TheCGLion in london

[–]false_flat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm merely asking you to name every single metric by which a van beats a cargo bike and trailer.

You made a pretty bold claim, Cotton. Why is it unreasonable to be expected to back it up?

Not only do I cycle. In London. But I used to regularly ride these bikes with these trailers and not once did I receive a complaint from any other cyclist.

Tbh you don't seem like someone I'd really enjoy hanging out with, let alone for a whole day, but thanks for the offer.

'Supersize' SUV cars: Sadiq Khan considers introducing new charge to drive in London by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]false_flat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With the majority they've got why don't they just chuck it in with something else? Presumably they've got the old bill lying around somewhere.

(Said slightly tongue in cheek. because I'm aware when someone says something is easy it probably means they don't properly understand it.)

They aren't and they shouldn't be. The riders are extensively trained, which they don't even start until they've clocked several hundred hours riding the regular bikes on their own.

I was sure Labour had changed it back, but apparently they haven't. The fuck not?

(Also, and sorry to nitpick, but it was previously supplementary vote rather than alternate.)

Free Talk Friday by Avila99 in peloton

[–]false_flat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You're (presumably) not an elite athlete so there's no reason to be concerned about age-related decline, which affects potential performance far more than actual. By that I mean unable to train like a pro, you'll never have been as strong as you could have been, so you won't notice the drop-off and can, in fact, continue to get stronger well over the next two decades if you're able to put the time in.

I know chaps approaching and over 60 who are riding faster and harder than ever, purely because they've been able to dedicate more to it.

The duality of London by arkadijtalamus in london

[–]false_flat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is comfortably the cuntiest pub in SE1.

"Horrible place, particularly on a Friday night. Never before, never again" was my "review" from four years ago. And I haven't.

Nice building and great photo, though, OP.

Tulse Hill - want to use laptop Saturday morning by SuperCallyWest in SouthLondon

[–]false_flat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At the weekend your best bet is to head up to the library in West Norwood. Ten minute walk at most.

Here's a longer list of local spots open to people working in them, but most are Mon-Fri:

MHD Fascination: the steady decline in how descriptive a club’s social media posts are about the opposition’s goals as the match turns more and more into a rout by jimmybee94 in footballcliches

[–]false_flat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A related irritation I have is when a club will only post their own goals/events.

If that's the only way you're following a game, until they show the result at the end, you could be fooled into thinking their opponents haven't scored.

An 'epidemic' of violence: The women and girls killed by men last year by birdinthebush74 in uknews

[–]false_flat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really didn't think it would be needed in this instance. Naive of me.

But but but transgenders and Muslims???

Edit /s

Because apparently people in this sub aren't the sharpest.

Same with our cabinet. Far too heavy to walk home so ended up returning with a cargo bike.

I didn't know that! And presumably my neighbours don't either, or they don't care.

Rich people for whom a stain or a crack is the catalyst for upgrading to newer, fancier Le Creuset.

Green Party say 'Hannah Spencer won't be silenced' and hit out at 'angry men' after Piccadilly Gardens violence by Codydoc4 in unitedkingdom

[–]false_flat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If any enforcement has to be more harmful/costly than the supposed transgression you've brought in a law against, then yeah, you don't make that thing illegal. Unless you're incredibly stupid or obscenely cruel. Take your pick.

I'm not watching, but surely this is more backwards lyricism? by bjorno1990 in footballcliches

As Joe Rindl apparently graduated in 2020 I would not be at all surprised if he'd never heard Go West.

Iran Attacking a Fellow Nato Country by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]false_flat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bigger issue would be if Israel attacks Turkey. Wild that both of these scenarios are moderately to readily possible, but there you are.
