    I can out-pedal pretty much all cyclists except for many of the lycrafags. Some of them are fucking quick.

    I hate to be the one to tell you this, but apart from the clothing material it sounds like you are one of the lycrafags.

    My old Pom Bomb has a useless headlight, can I get one of these gazzillion lumnens headlamps to supplement Mr Lucas's feeble beam.
    I'm sure car drivers wont mind being blinded by my uncontrolled light, they are just cagers after all.
    Of course at WOF time I wont wear it.

    Don't worry, I've had a nice engine attached to my cycle and the bastards are still chasing me hard down hills... (probably held up the odd one slightly, mid corner they have me...)

    You best bet is to upgrade Mr Lucas... and add an LED lamp or two...

    I don't ride 2 or 3 abreast in packs holding up traffic, or dressed as a faggot. I just ride along pissed instead.

    I may not catch Mr 3 Million Lumens though....

    Mmmm, I can see a Youtube montage coming from my onboard camera on the truck...driver dazzled by cyclist riding illegally, followed closely by said cyclist flattened under a 30 wheel B-train combo ...all explained by John Campbell at 7pm as to why you should have your retina burners fitted to your bike frame instead of your scone protector...

    The only question might be what calibre ammo do I use to put the lycra clad fella out of his misery?

    All you friendly truckers, no wonder I stick to mountain biking and throw myself into trees, over jumps etc. They don't fight back

    Haha, all good really, for I don't subscribe to the vigilante approach when behind the wheel...but I do ponder sometimes...what if

    Some cyclists, and I do mean some only, have literally zero sense of self preservation. Even when they're darting out in front of big rigs

    Good on Rastus for addressing the bright light yokel problem for starters

    I disagree.

    On a trail I ride there are two particularly malevolent trees that are particularly agressive and I'm deeply suspicious about several tree roots as well. I'm considering cancelling my Forest and Bird donation as the bribes don't seem to be working.

    Went for a fairly pedestrian fang along this trail last night with a friend...

    Miss Vicki politely declined our invitation to join us as she is deeply distrustful of 'those things that drop out of trees'... I make it clear that there were no vampires in those woods and she could always smoother herself in garlic... She gave me 'the look' and it turns out she was worried about 'possums... I laughed (out loud) and assured her I have NEVER seen a 'possum fall out of a tree yet unless it had been shot first.

    So - Glenn and I were chortling away about this on the wider part of the trail when feck me - a bloody 'possum jumped down out of a bloody tree and ran away up and across the path - that startled a bunny that ran across the road right in front of me nearly causing me to have an unscheduled dismount at pace... (shouldnt have braked as a 29" wheel could surely roll over a bunny wabbit)

    Lol, this is why I try to avoid the word never. Anything I say never about seems to come to be.

    I am never going to win lotto without buying a ticket.
