Why do they all ride crap bikes? If I had their kind of moolah I'd be riding some hand-made, uber-niche, titanium framed thing dripping in Carbon and Chris King bling. I mean, even if they're trying to persevere with this wholly unconvincing 'we're all in this together' nonsense, there really is no excuse for this type of thing, is there....

GO has some way to go to master one finger braking.

As others say dont unscrupulous types target their bikes

I think you'll find "call me Dave" is wearing Frances finest Vellibrequin shorts (that spelling might just be rong)

But surely they've got some uniformed plebs to keep an eye on their bikes for them. That's what they're there for, isn't it?

OI! YOU! Yes, you, you *ing pleb! Keep your *ing peasenty prole eye on that! And if anything happens to it, I'll have you *ing executed! Do you know who I *ing am?!!! 😀

At least they are out on two wheels rather than using cars, also, rich people tend to stay rich by making money, not spending it.

Well, that and an Abus Granit mainly. Doesn't really work on it's own.

I love the implication that they all got them by stealing them. Nice. 😉

I expect the reality is that their minds are all stuck back in yesteryear when they pootled around the streets of some quaint Berkshire village on a bike from the 1940's all excited about heading back to college where they would get a roughing up by Bertie 'Biffer' Baylee-Smyth before being forced to take one up the wrong'un from Harris Spence.

But as an aside, yes, Dave's shorts are so incredibly wrong it's barely believable.

At least Boris just looks like a normal commuter out on his bike.

After looking at those picture I may sell the bikes and take up something less snobby like Polo.

Sure wasn't J Bush a decent MTB'er? THought I saw a vid with him and "call me Lance" sometime back..
Wifey bought it him..

Although I don;t think his policies were too thought out.

I overtook "call me Boris" going down Aldgate a few months back. Nice bloke in the flesh, said Hi at least when I said "Hi Boris".

That pic of Dave and Gideon wouldn't look out of place in a late 1980s Kays catalogue.

That's because millyplank doesn't want to be seen as one of 'them'.....ie a public school Oxbridge graduate.
