The Bike

[Fairenuff]

Have I missed something? What's the bike for?

I presume its in readiness for Tour de France.

I think it's to do with this thread about an international cycling race which encompasses both Northern Ireland and Eire www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2069590-The-BIGGEST-sporting-event-to-visit-the-island-of-Ireland-EVER-The-Tour-of-

But what are we supposed to do with it? Maybe when posters disagree, they can tell each other - on yer mate - or some such thing.

Quite, Fairenuff, I was thinking the same myself

:(

I was worried MN had turned a bit Tebbit and were telling people to get on they

It inter-sections quite a few things. The stuff linked to above, mainly celebrating the investment in the island of Ireland, the Womens first Tour of Britain this week,and generally all things that are so good about getting on your bike and going somewhere under your own steam, as well as the increase in biking in this country.

Of course some MNers may choose to use it as a 'weapon'

I thought it meant on your bike as in get lost. Or tell him to get on his which might be a change from LTB.

It's so you can post " on yer " rather than fuck off go away to posters that annoy you.

LT?

Yes, it's fairly versatile, but it was supposed to be a Nice Thing.

As a bit of an aside, here is a 3 min video about The Afghanistan Women's Cycling Team and what riding a bike means to them.

You guys are missing the best usage - Freddie Mercury impersonations...

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet
Upon the seat
Of a made for two

And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could but I borrowed itttt

L'enfer du Nord Paris-Roubaix
La Cote d'Azur et Saint Tropez
Les Alpes et les Pyrennees
Derniere etape Champs-Elysees
Galibier et Tourmalet
En danseuse jusqu'au sommet
Pedaler en grand braquet
Sprint final a l'arrivee
Crevaison sur les paves
vite repare
Le peloton est regroupe
Camarades et amitie
