Where Bob hails from they are far politer than us down Sarf. Riding like a girl is very tame and inoffensive. In the bunches I am use to riding in the term would be riding like a tart or old tart, even the girls in the group would use this or lassies as Bob would say. I have even heard the girls say she is a bit of a Raleigh now that's got you all guessing. Trouble is a lot of Brit cycling speak has two meanings bonk and honk for instant they mean very different things in cycling slang as to there more common usage meanings. I know Bob and he is a real gentleman I doubt if he would even flute in the bunch.

Thats all for now. Keep those wheels spinning, in your memories if not still on the road. Be lucky Mick Butler Huntingdon UK.
