I searched and found nothing, nada, zip

Stumbled upon this

Quite a funny and true read..

Oh, for the particularly sensitive, sweary warning in link

You'll find them regularly quoted in the Road Cycling Essentials thread. Especially #5, #8 and #9.

Oh, and #12, always #12.

Never seen them before, just read through the lot nodding my head and giggling like a girl. I only cycle occasionally but found it enlightening.

whoops wrong thread

Rather amusingly, Trend Micro consider the site to be "Dangerous - Verified fraudulent page or threat source." and so it's blocked at work.

Also, I'm going to make my usual complaint about rule #37 being a load of crap

Loads of the rules need to be taken tongue in cheek but it's an entertaining read. And Rule 5 has been playing on my mind a lot recently with the wind.

I think there's also a place for rule 17, and definitely rule 16.

I don't want to ever wear team kit, unless I one day manage to be sponsored.

The quote from rule 10 quite often goes through my head, swiftly followed by rule 5.

Rule #1 should read "Don't ride on roads where you can't meet the speed limit else I should be expected to take a motor bike in the arse"

Not sure how you can think that is anything other than the idiot motorcyclist's fault.

Agree 100%

Have to agree with #9

I thought I was the only one who saw bad weather and actually got excited about it.

But there is a lot of other rules on there that frankly make me realise why a lot of people don't like cyclists, a bit like golfers. I really don't give a **** what other people want to wear or what they ride. Far too many snobs out there imo.

I entirely agree, don't know how he failed to see them.

My comment comes from being stuck behind a women every day doing 10mph in a 40mph with no way to pass, resulting in miles of queueing in rush hour.
