[Closed] PMSL - new genre of riding form the classiFLIDS

i used to get quite aggressive on commutes but that was normally due to w@nkers in motorized tin boxes and my tyres had no effect on it 😉

Flid,
A widely used insult in England, It is quite an extreme insult, most people dont like it (obviously), means spasticated or retarded.
It comes from the German drug that was used in the 60's to help calm the side effects of pregnancy, but sometimes caused physical abnormalities in the baby. A flid is actually originally a person with no arms and legs.

Basicly a very childish and imature insult,

OP name and shame.

"form" the classiflIds, spelling in schools today, shocking

Knew someone would moan about the title...

People suffering from any sort of disability are not to be made fun of,neither should they be pitied,they should be accepted as haveing a part to play in society.

The issue here is the bullshit riding genre, not the pun. Get over yourself.

Title? Yes, his spilling is apealing.

there thier

what's rong with that? That's normal cycling!

It's all the pushing bikes about that I don't understand."Pushriders". It seems to be a lot of standing about and pushing massive bikes to me! and then battering it down stuff. "Freeride" my arse. It has pedals and a chain! it's a biCYCLE. Do people ride up stuff anymore. I suggest a strange niche... ""Uphill!""" ****in pedal it.

oh yeah, "flids" brilliant that. quality.

Flid was the insult of choice as a kid from the 70's doesn't seem quite so funny now as an adult, just the opposite in fact 🙁

Yeah, gotta agree - it went out with calling someone 'Joey' whilst pulling a contorted facial expression...

anyway, 'aggressive commuting'.

Aaaaawwwwlriiightah! 😆 , 😈 , and a little bit 😉

(starts googleing for big apples/hookworms - will they go on 317's nicely? And will they fit under my gentlemanly sks mudguards?)

That was me - last night after a night fettling in the garage so a bit tired.

Aggressive commuting tyres: something that rolls fast for the blacktop / sustrans parts of the commute, but has enough strength/grip to survive the real off-road parts too.

For those in the know Pentlands and WOL.

it's done it's job though, got you some publicity!

so anyone got any tyres for "aggressive commuting" they want to swap for my spec Eskar 2.3s??????

I suggest a strange niche... ""Uphill!""" ****in pedal it.

Surely alot of these pushalong downhill riders could make huge savings in weight and money by simply riding oversized, bulletproof over-engineered balance bikes with no drivetrain and 10" of travel at each end?

just a thought

[i]Knew someone would moan about the title... [/i]

"In the late 1950s and early 1960s, more than 10,000 children in 46 countries were born with deformities such as phocomelia, as a consequence of thalidomide use"

We've clearly put all that behind us and are all laughing about it now.

get over yourselves

I used to work with a thalidomide bloke. He was a good laugh and probably would have chuckled at the joke.
Nice that you're all looking out for him though. 🙄

one armless little pun caused so much agro

How very middle class, being upset on someone else behalf.

My housemate didnt even pick up on the racism in the cravendale milk advert which was apparently banned because so many middle class doo gooders complained about it.

What cravendale racism?

"one armless little pun caused so much agro"

Whats sweaty got five fingers and hairy ?

[b]What cravendale racism?[/b]

cravendale who?

Did anyone see the guy in the wheelchair and the thalidamide guy from Cast Offs on GMTV?

[b]Philip Schofield[/b]: It must have been hard pushing your wheelchair through the jungle.

[b]Holly Willoughby[/b]: Oooo, no, look at those big strong arms.

[b]Thalidamide[/b]: Mine use to be like that.

That made me laugh, you could tell the presenters didn't know whether to laugh or go to adverts.

sounds like quality TV 😕

You try finding something better at 10am, you grumpy beggar.

I just looked up the [url= http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/may/13/cravendale-milk-cows-cleared-racism ]Cravendale advert[/url] out of interest.

Obviously not racist, but it's probably the word 'purity' that got people's knickers in a twist.

Perosnally, I'm much more offended by [url= http://celebrity.aol.co.uk/2010/05/19/holly-willoughby-gives-nazi-salute-on-this-morning/ ]Holly Willoughby's Nazi salute on This Morning[/url]. I'll never watch Dancing on Reich again.

Holly Willoughbooby is quality TV whatever she does

i'm at work at 10am, but wouldn't watch it at home either

the one where the cow loses its black spots in order to become 'pure'

I'll admit to only watching it when I'm at work. Otherwise twee telly for women on the menopause isn't my usual viewing.

Is not a cow all in white a virgin.
