We are family all of my sisters and me-but are we???

Approaches from Brad Pitt lookalikes like .... AlMel will no doubt be welcomed

Unless I've very much got the wrong end of the stick, I think AlMel might be more of a Naomi Campbell lookalike ... pay attention 007

Brad Pitt lookalikes like Alex

Not quite - Rowan Atkinson might be a more apt analogy !

unfortunates like me will have our ears ringing with screams of 'dirty old man' or worse. 'Ows about that then?

Or to borrow a line from Dr Fassbender, renowned psychiatrist of "What's New Pussycat" fame ...

"Try to think of me as a kindly old man who has only your best interests at heart ...." ?

Far too much thinking going on in this thread for me.

Motorhome drivers are the same for waving. One day I was that focussed on an approaching van I nearly ran into the back of a car that suddenly wanted to turn right. I stopped thinking about the whole business after that.

Blimey - I sure got that wrong! I'm smiling...and nodding

Dunno why, I keep getting this image of a lycra shorted bearded old cyclist peering out from behind his bush saying 'can you tell what it is yet?'

Just mind whom you're poking with that stick, ducky!

That's a very good point Artstu,that also can happen.

You may have point there Marc...I was following a car the other day and there was a little dog on the parcel shelf doing exactly that.

I used to work in London so I know what it's like. It really is a much slower pace of life down here - apart from us on our eBikes of course!

Would you ever live in London,or did you just had enough?

I spent about 10 years working in London commuting from Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Harrow at different times. I now visit occasionally and enjoy it when I'm there. I do enjoy cycling in cities but now that is usually Exeter, Plymouth or Bristol. Especially fun on my powered Brompton. I now live in the middle of nowhere but would be perfectly happy living in a city one day.

Jonah,

Did you mean to live in a city,the middle of nowhere or to live one day in the city of London?
Anyway,hats off to you ten years is a very long time .

I like the west country, I could see myself living in Exeter or Bristol but not London now. Nice to visit though.

...In the meantime is someone going to get some badges made for this group....how about the Pedelec Massif or Hells Angels e-Bike Chapter?

I’m prone to a bit of zany humour occasionally; so just for the laughs, I might get a T-shirt printed with your suggested ‘Hells Angels e-Bike Chapter’ on it.

Heck, it might even help keep the Lycra's away.

Although not sure I would go as far as including the Angel's official logo though - that might be a step too far!

What about a Hi - Viz waist coat and on the back "Pedelec - Do it the Easy way".

 

[Eaglerider]

I have to admit that after 40 years of motorcycling, I tend to acknowledge other bikers, mostly for the reasons Flecc alluded to earlier I suppose. It has become an almost involuntary synapse, and I'm not really aware that I'm doing it.

The worst part though is, especially if I have been riding my motorcycle a lot, that when I am driving the car, I find myself making involuntary nodding gestures at other motorcyclists! It's even happened when I am walking as a pedestrian. The sight of any motorcycle has me twitching involuntarily. There must be a proper medical name for this disorder, perhaps: CMAD, Compulsive Motorcycle Acknowledgement Disorder.

There, I have self diagnosed, and perhaps, invented a new illness!

But if you've got the 'Think Bike' sticker on your car Eaglerider it's OK....it's like having the habit officially on prescription

Some thoughts on the Pedelec badges;

e-bikers do it with batteries!

e-Cyclist unplugged

For some areas of the North - e-up me duck

e-bikers keep going longer!

Maybe not

That is so so true what you are saying, BUT! not too sure about your new medical invention though.

You'd also find it was a step too far to even include the words "Hells Angels"; they get quite narky about that, and not through the courts, either.
