I saw the Sweden thread, it was amazing, informative and thoroughly riveting

Anyone's mind been changed on anything, ever by these pop up, new members?😉

Taking the time to set up a new account knowing not a sod on here cares about the Qanon/ anti mask/ anti lock down*/ anti vax or similar garbage they are trying to peddle. Amazing.

*Nobody wants lockdown. Were they necessary though? Yes.

The real truth:

Masks v’s alternative

Lol. Healthy diet, exercise and all that have been advice for decades. In case you hadn't noticed, take-up is limited.

And then there are all the many instances of healthy active people getting COVID and being ill, but even if you are super healthy the real risk is getting COVID passing it on to someone who isn't. Masks and vaccines really help with that.

So yeah you really don't understand this very well I'm afraid. That might be why you're angry? Maybe simmer down a bit and start reading the science.

No.

Imo they're wasting time wading in on such things. I do have half an ear out for regular members who post, even when the post challenges my thinking.

Imo, most first-post-on-contentious-thread are just trolls.

It is quite amazing how these threads attract new members

Or the same new member multiple times over.

You'd think, wouldn't you, that they'd eventually get the message.

Don't you be coming around here with your science!!

Are you suggesting that these 'scientist' people know more on this issue than Karen on Facebook?

I think not!

I guess they think it is just another forum full of persuadable/gullible people who will buy their BS and they try to spread it as far as they can.

@kerley uhm it’s a mountain bike forum, that’s pretty much who we are, snake oil consumers 😅

Edit: see mullet bikes, anodising, fat bikes, directional speaker cable, single speeds, etc

I've heard that the anti-vaxers are developing a revolutionary new wheel standard in a groundbreaking new shape

Hasnt it been mentioned it's a former perma-banned member with a grudge just sitting there creating account after account?

I thought my social life was crap.

Yes you are gullible consumers but when it comes to things that actually matter I don't see much stupidity here, or at least it gets questioned very quickly and pedlars of things such as anti-vax don't get any time.

I've heard that if you've been suckered into having a vaccine that image binners posted up actually looks like a square!!!!! That's all the proof you need.

the only time the government ever got people to do anything good for their health was in lockdown 1 when you could go out for exercise once a day. people waddled around the park getting more steps in than they had done in years.

Not sure how many kept it up

I was in London today. KGX > Mayfair > KGX Very high compliance of masks on and off the train. Actually I didn't notice anyone not wearing one. Clients were diligently wearing them too.

It's encouraging

With all this new variant stuff I keep hearing about, it was encouraging if I'm honest - especially being in the grim capital Petri dish

I remember chatting with a horse rider summer last year and them mentioning how many cyclists were out and about and how the cycling advocates must be kicking themselves of not thinking of the best way of getting people riding was saying "you are only allowed out once a day".
It definitely drop off this year. The local park/scrubland was ultra busy last year but now its back to the position where I can go wildlife watching so long as I miss lunch time and the dog carers.

^ Yeah, it's whak a mole time for the mods I'm afraid. Pray for A Drac's IPad.

Oh, they got the message, but as far as they’re concerned, the message has no content - they’re just the equivalent to email spamming.

(There seems to be a concerted attempt by someone with an agenda it seems. Not sure if it’s an anti stw agenda or anti… well anti most things really, agenda.😁)

Exactly what it is, they get banned for bad behaviour, so they keep coming back due to their overwhelming sense of entitlement to continually expressing their opinion no matter how much it offends others.

Like your average four year old denied the toy they demand, then start kicking and screaming because they can’t have their own way.

Snotty brats.

Quite the reverse, you realize they're completely looney tunes.

In further unscientific mask-wearing observations, just been on the train to Manchester for work. I would have to agree the vast majority of non-wearers are younger males.

Masks are for cucks I suppose.

Masks save lives.

My mate was wearing one in the pub with his girlfriend when his wife walked in, but she didn't recognise him.
