Daggers Posted 4 May 2007 Posted 4 May 2007 Hammond 'prefers cycling in town' Top Gear host and motoring fan Richard Hammond has confessed to preferring cycling around town to driving a car. source It took me less time to cycle into Brum today and visit the same places I went to in a car with the kids yesterday...plus, there were no parking spaces which is why I went back in. Going by all of the stationary cars, gridlocked, I do wonder why people go in by car everyday.
Stevosevic Posted 4 May 2007 Posted 4 May 2007 at least if people go by car you dont have to put up with sweaty people with BO problems at work
lildave3 Posted 4 May 2007 Posted 4 May 2007 I thought this thread was about a real hamster on a little tiny bike. You've displeased me.
Daggers Posted 4 May 2007 Author Posted 4 May 2007 at least if people go by car you dont have to put up with sweaty people with BO problems at work I'd have thought it was the fat car drivers that had the hygiene problem. Women find fresh sweat dead sexy - it's biological, they have no power to resist
Stevosevic Posted 4 May 2007 Posted 4 May 2007 I'd have thought it was the fat car drivers that had the hygiene problem.Women find fresh sweat dead sexy - it's biological, they have no power to resist ive heard some stories about cyclists going to work stinking of BO after cycling in the morning, although your right the fat car drivers are just as bad

Especially the girls.

Alexikokopops Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 Ha too right. he he he correct lincolnshire is shit Less of that!!
Alexikokopops Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 Seriously, it takes about five hours to cycle anywhere in Lincolnshire. Second biggest county in England, 42nd (out of 48) in population density. IT'S JUST FIELDS, EVERYWHERE!! Couple that with a terrible public transport system and I'm gonna drive down them country roads. If I lived in a city then I'd understand, but I don't, so nah.

How many people from Lincolnshire drive into Birmingham everyday? Not many I'd hazard a guess It's people driving in from Sutton, Solihull, West Brom and Wolves that gets me. The public transport services are good and the roads are dreadful, even if people don't fancy cycling there's alternatives. Still - I guess road pricing will come shortly, although I haven't seen much difference in London.

Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 THOUSANDS, every day. A lot? That's what you're coming back with, is it? Oh, a lot? I didn't realise. There was me thinking they didn't go very often. In fact, they do! They go a lot! Give me a film. "Trainspotting" Trainspotting! Dives down the loo! Don't give him that one!!!

cisono Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 at least if people go by car you dont have to put up with sweaty people with BO problems at work Sounds as if the problem is lack of showers at work?
BigGibbo Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 Ha too right. Less of that!! i didn't mean it nastily ha my dad lives in sutton on sea & it bores the piss out of me!
Alexikokopops Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 i didn't mean it nastily ha my dad lives in sutton on sea & it bores the piss out of me! No worries, Lincolnshire's an acquired taste
stez Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 Sounds as if the problem is lack of showers at work? showers at work? when i lived in leicester, i worked 7.30am til 5 pm, and working 12 miles from home would mean leaving at something like 5 am to get there, have a bloody shower get dry, actually do some work and leave at 5 to get home around 7-7.30pm just in time to see my kid go to bed, and, to be honest, i wouldn't even entertain riding along country lane in the middle of winter in the pitch dark. cars are great, and as soon as the car companies get there arses into gear and sort out this hydrogen cell technology life will be good again.
cisono Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 showers at work? Yeah, well I was used to working at uni. All the unis I have worked at had showers and great facilities... as soon as the car companies get there arses into gear and sort out this hydrogen cell technology life will be good again. You may be in for a long wait then!
Daggers Posted 5 May 2007 Author Posted 5 May 2007 Yeah, well I was used to working at uni. All the unis I have worked at had showers and great facilities... Aston doesn't
Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 May 2007 Posted 5 May 2007 Ow! :w00t: :laugh: Oooh - Kokopops. Ooooooh. It's an Adam and Joe podcast quote!! It was just for Tommy's benefit really. Adam and Joe.
