Dude, I did not know they had ewoks in the UK.


Q: How does Luke Skywalker get up the technical section?


A: Ewoks!

I saw this trap shortly after it was news. I just can't imagine what is going through the heads of these nuts. I'd love to see these deliberate acts get "attempted murder" charges.

Years ago I was riding on a multi-use trails at night and I hit a railroad tie that someone had laid across the trail, broke my wrist and gave myself a concussion. I am down with charges against someone who sets a trap for cyclists.

You train on roads with booby traps and wooden spikes? Impressive......

Congratulations, you're so courageous! I ride outdoors, but I limit it to the weekends in the morning when the roads are quiet (use trainer at night). Have you read the pain cave threads? I'm hardly alone in my logic. I agree with you that we shouldn't pander to pernicious drivers and back woods hillbillies...but for you to dismiss the efficacy of using a trainer as both a vehicle for safety and convenience, is a little douchey!


I didn't dismiss the efficacy of the trainer as a training tool. It's perfectly great for people who make "pain caves" for convenient or because they enjoy riding indoors. I'm merely countering your initial assertions that it's "word war 3" or that people who ride outdoors need to "wake up."

Can we continue this conversation without you calling me things like "douche" and "hipster?" Or should we leave it at that?

We all need to calm down a little.


Being called a douche is on the mark for virtually all of us at some point in our lives. Might be intentional or unintentional, but we're all a douche from time to time. We're human afterall. If we get called a douche, we just have to man up and accept it, and move on.


I do however take offence when people throw around "hipster". No-one deserves that low level of insult! Well, except flannel wearing bearded dicks in tight jeans on fixies. Those retreads give us all a bad name and make motorists hate us.

Thanks - that made my day! Bonus points for the mental image of them up in the trees jabbering and pointing at the bikers.

It seems like every thread on here eventually devolves into someone getting called a douche at some point.

...are we all just really douchey people?

We may not like the label.... but the data is really not in our favour.
