How did the little black dress get into it? For one, you tend not to be able to see that from outside the car and two, someone wearing a little black dress might be commuting.
But also:
Then use the Following feed instead and find something better to do than whatever this is.
You're in my mentions trying to tell me how to post when you could just... not?
Or you could go and find posters you understand.
Between us, I think we can make this happen. Just say it and then brazen it out. Because that is the correct name for it, even if the English language doesn't know it yet.
I'm off the bike at the moment because of health stuff but I used to wear lycra on my 10 mile commute - if nothing else, having three back pockets and a secret zip pocket was very useful and it saved my work clothes from getting wet/dirty.
The person who told me what it is called in Italian asked me what it is called in English and I genuinely had no idea from which I think we can infer that "calcinculo" or "ass kicker" is the platonic ideal name for it.
Whenever I ask why they think I included the bit about the driver assuming that the cyclists were riding for leisure and explicitly stated that they had no way to know whether that was the case, and that they were about to close pass them, I get a non-answer or I get blocked. 🤷♀️
The comma does not detract from this absolutely correct take!
I ride the bus lmao
Proud to announce the upcoming release of my latest work "On Literary Criticism, or Why I Will Never Delete A Post."
Available from all good academic bookshops and rageposts by people who didn't understand it and refuse to acknowledge that anyone else did.
I note that whenever I ask why people think I included these details they do not answer.
Good, take your lack of reading comprehension skills elsewhere.
Genuinely, why did you think I included the bit about the driver assuming that they were riding for leisure and explicitly stating that they had no way to know whether that was the case, and that they were about to close pass them?
It's very simple: do not close pass cyclists (this means not giving them adequate space) regardless of where you are going or why. This may help:
Swing ride or chair swing ride - seats suspended from a carousel by wires/ropes which turn and swing outwards
Have learned to my delight that the (or, at least, an) Italian name for this fairground ride is "calcinculo" or "kick in the ass"/"ass kicker."
No? I'm not in it. But as someone who is frequently on my way to urgent medical appointments, don't close pass cyclists on your way to urgent medical appointments.
He is a delight and I love him even if he is an asshole.
They've taken away my rhetoric licence, Gaz. Turns out they can do that for a far lower degree of harm and with a far lower burden of proof than taking away the person who close passed those cyclists' driving licence.
If only there were some other replies, a profile, a pinned post, an entire posting history, or if I had made the driver hypocritical, ignorant, presumptuous and actively dangerous - if not illegal - to give you a clue. 🤔
Nope, still don't endanger the cyclists.
And we wouldn't have them any other way. 💖
Cyclists have every right to the road, whether riding for business, leisure or any other purpose. Wearing cycling-specific attire gives you no more and no less right to the road than other cyclist and is a sensible choice for many riders. Hope this helps.
Yes.
When I first got her, she did used to watch me get in the bath like "don't do that, you'll get wet, omg!!!"
You're anti-cyclist now @tomflood.bsky.social - sorry, I don't make the rules.
Not trolling. 😊 Just posting for the people who like my posts, not the ones who don't.
