@Adespoto3 @cerebralsymphoy @woolyw0 @MikeyCycling Lights are only compulsory at night.

@Fitz90MARK @CyclingInASkirt @dave2809 Winnats is my nemesis. Out of about 10 attempts, I’ve only ever managed to ride all the way up once, when I had a tailwind. I usually get 2/3 of the way up, the headwind hits me and I just stop. So steep, you can’t get going again!

@Adespoto3 @CyclingInASkirt As you can see, I’m not really built for climbing hills!

@BritishCycling Do those socks comply with UCI sock height regulations?

@edwardlamb My Dawes Super Gal with Doggy Ride trailer (complete with small dog), on a ride around the Norfolk lanes last summer.

@am_on_the_fence @CyclingInASkirt The postwoman delivers my Christmas post, and she is invariably on foot, on the icy pavement.

@GcnRacing Gelati Sanson - Campagnolo. I did actually own one, but my mother in law shrunk it in the wash! Never been able to get another.

@yeahbutcyclists @MikeyCycling @theJeremyVine @gazzabiker @Bikery1966 @CamBike1 @LDNbybike @AManOnABike @AndyCoxDCS CycleGaz always sets the lap button on his Garmin, when he sees an incident. This will start a new lap and enable you to identify the time of the incident.

@yeahbutcyclists @MikeyCycling @theJeremyVine @gazzabiker @Bikery1966 @CamBike1 @LDNbybike @AManOnABike @AndyCoxDCS When I submitted my last one, the submission form asked if the date and time stamp on the video are correct. For some bizarre reason, my Cycliq Fly6 is 7 minutes slow.

@peterwalker99 This is definitely a London thing. Out in the sticks, there’s usually nobody to race against.

@nick_redliner @gazzabiker My local chippy takes cash and card. Almost everyone pays by card. The local barber only takes cash though. Often people get a haircut, then have to go and withdraw the cash to pay for it.

@xLevtus @cyclegaz Zigzags mean no parking, or overtaking another vehicle in the zigzag zone.

[Biking Trev @BikingTrev]

@cyclegaz Can’t be bothered to walk the extra 3 yards to the actual crossing, sees the light is red for drivers, so crosses anyway.

@PaulCC20 @annaholligan Loved when my son’s U15 team played in the Netherlands. All of the opposition teams turned up on bikes! So much freedom for kids there. No being ferried around in a car.

@brackley88 @MrCrystalMighty @Red10208731 @i_heart__bikes Me too.

[Biking Trev @BikingTrev]

@MrCrystalMighty @brackley88 @Red10208731 @i_heart__bikes The fact that most are riding cyclocross bikes with knobbly tyres (mountain bikes also allowed), they’ve got timing chips on, several of them appear in the race photos of the NJCX Cooper River Cyclo cross.

[Biking Trev @BikingTrev]

@MrCrystalMighty @brackley88 @Red10208731 @i_heart__bikes Cyclocross races often have a start loop, on tarmac, to enable riders to get a clean start before they hit the dirt tracks, grass and obstacles. Try watching some cyclocross on YouTube and you will understand better.

[Biking Trev @BikingTrev]

@MrCrystalMighty @brackley88 @Red10208731 @i_heart__bikes MrCristalMighty. You obviously know nothing about cyclocross. You are just making yourself look silly, especially to those of us who do.

[Biking Trev @BikingTrev]

@MrCrystalMighty @brackley88 @Red10208731 @i_heart__bikes That’s quite normal for a Cyclo cross race.
