I agree Marco. I wonder what the crotchet rockets think of us on our
sceptic tanks eh...??
I commute to London (80 miles) each and every day of the year unless
there are blizzards. I have to because I cannot afford the train fare to
come to work to London. 3,500 pounds for a train ticket for the year.
Best of luck to the people who can afford to have their bikes as fair
weather toys. I don't mind. The more bikes on the road the better it is
for all of us. Lets not make ourselves too exclusive eh. Heaven knows,
people might start to think we're a bunch of stuck up bikers...

Hi Chris and Lorenzo,

To me it doesnīt seem like "Bike Romance" bit quite an
intolerant and
arrogant point of view.
"Only all-season-bikers are good bikers". I donīt appreciate
that.
I tend more to "live and let live" (or better "ride and let
ride").

Imagibne, in some regions of Europe itīs not possible to ride

year. I once crashed in autumn, cause a little part of the road
was
icy (and almost died), so I decided to drive never again in bad
weather conditions like that.
Moreover, Iīm a student and Iīm glad that I can afford to ride

at least 6 to 8 months a year...
