driving is rubbish.

You're doing it wrong

driving is rubbish.

Depends very much on the location and the machinery you are in charge of.

You have to remember that many on here are drivers, with bikes in/on their cars for some 'off road' fun, a minority of people on here are cyclists primarily......

Cycling IS good - I did 10.000km last year.

I also own a car and a van.

I don't know if that makes me a cyclist or just someone who rides a bike sometimes.

Best idea is to probably ignore them - same way as I ignore the self-righteous cyclist threads. Oddly enough some people love cycling but actually quite like driving too! How weird is that?
Speaking of weirdness - there is a really cool thread about cold war aircraft kicking about at the moment - you may not like that either. Just as well it's in the chat bit...

[i]driving is rubbish. cycling is good.[/i]

I agree, but lots on here don't. Easy to avoid threads about it.

Possibly, there's a little tab at the top, says ‘Bike Forum’, easy to miss, I know... 😉

I have cars and bikes. I like them both. They are not mutually exclusive.

I'd guess in the chat forum people talk most about the stuff they spend most of their money / interest on.

So basically:
- Houses (incl boilers, driveways, gates,......)
- Partner / kids
- Cars
- HiFi cables (or coffee machines or other toys)
- Holidays

Not in any order btw.

Strangely very few about taxation- but maybe that's covered by all the politics threads (which I steadfastly ignore).

What's not to like? Ignore the stuff that doesnt interest you.

in your extensive experience of this forum, having registered just under a month ago....

ffs most of the country's population are drivers, in that they hold a licence.

I don't need to, spent 2 hours opposite the pits in 1989 during the night when the Mazda 767 & the Aston Martin AMR1 were lapping close to each other.
The Mazda made your ears ring & the Aston made your lungs rumble 😀

Was also glad to be there in 91 when the 787B of Weidler, Herbert and Gachot beat the Mercedes-Benz C11 of Michael Schumacher, Fritz Kreutzpointner and Karl Wendlinger.

Harry, it's a very good thing I'm lying down in a darkened room, what with you posting that Gulf Team Porsche 917 ❗
Just going to get the box of tissues... 😉

There appear to be a goodly number of cyclists over on PistonHeads too!
