Re: what do you hate about biking?

now 5 star leaded fuel the expensive stuff was 6s 6d... thats slightly more and comes in at 33 p..per
gallon ... 4.54 litres.. make an imperial gallon

Re: what do you hate about biking?
I hate having to spend ages getting ready, I wish you could fall off and not get hurt. Going via bike means carrying spare set of clothes in a rucksack which is a pain.
As far as other things its car drivers not looking and nearly killing me

Re: what do you hate about biking?
I tell ya fella, you are lucky you don't have to commute on a motorbike. I would love to be able to leave my bike in a garage for the winter.Jamoi wrote:1. Any other vehicles on the road while on my bike.
2. Horses on the road.
3. Inability to have more than 1 bike under 1 insurance policy (oh yeah, I'm likely to ride more than 1 bike at once! Duche bags).
4. Not being able to commute to work on my bike.
5. Rear tyre squaring off after munching a bit of straight road.
6. People who lie, i.e "I get my elbow down, while spinning up my rear tyre at 160mph in Tesco's car park every morning" save your breath, you might need it in a minute...
7. People that make lists about things they hate.
Re: what do you hate about biking?
1. Bad Road Conditions (Rain, rocks, patches, bumps)
2. The amount of fuel the Storm uses!
3. Cops ( or should that be, bikers that rode outside their ability, crashed, died and is now the reason the Cops patrol that section of road)
4. Sore hands
5. Bird Strikes
6. The isolation, not being able to have a drink or enjoy the heater (conversely, this is also what I like about biking)
7. Nodding or waving at other bikers .... I'm not your mate and didn't gear up to make friends. I might be a touch busy approaching a corner to be social :-)
Other road users don't concern me in the slightest..... I know what's out there before I leave... hence why I ride early morning or late afternoon on a generally deserted twisty section of road.
I do have one exception to that.... Push Bike riders that ride in a peloton the length of 3 cars and a full lane width!!!!
No Rego, No Insurance.... and straight on their mobile phone to the cops if they get a little fright and wee in their Lycra
