don't wear your retrobike hoodie down the pub!!

[jonnyboy666]

so, i have recently got my new retrobike hoodie, it has become my new favourite, it shall be worn everywhere!


except now, the pub. :x


picture the scenario

bloke walks into pub with 2 mates, several drunkish people there already, first night retrobike hoodie wearer has had to drink more than one pint in one night in ages, so he's looking forward to the first 2nd pint in a long time.

the pub has several rooms, we wander into the smaller bar at the front of the pub, there are a few people in there. 4 girls, about 6 guys, bearded student looking type spies the hoodie wearer (me), stares at me. after a while he launches himself in my direction :roll: i know it's coming, the stupid comment. he approaches . . . .


"so what's the retrobike thing then? . . . . motorbikes?"

"no it's old skool bikes . . . push bikes."

"what, like GT backwoods?"

"not really, more specific stuff really, the older stuff that's considered really good quality or rare."

"like raleigh's? they invented spension din't they?"

"well no they didn't really invent suspension on bikes"

"who was it then?!! you don't know do ya?"

"well the earlier guys were called paul turner and doug bradbury as far as bikes go really and a few others"

"naahh . . . . it was raleigh mush"

"ok :roll: . . . . sorry mate, i was here to talk with my mates, i leave you to it"

"you know nuffin, shunt come down the pub and talk about stuff you don't know about"

"you started the conversation buddy, not me"

"yeah but if you wear a top like that your asking for a conversation"

"am i? ok"

"i'll come down naked next time then should i? just to avoid conversations i didn't want!"

(luckily) weirdo walks away.

BEWARE IF WEARING YOUR RETROBIKE HOODIE IN PUBS!!!

some people are just born to be arseholes jon the best thing to do is just turn around and put your back to them failing that do what most of us old skool pagens do and just laugh at the fool if you do it right they walk away feeling silly and leave you alone

Bloke walks over;
"You takin' the piss out this pub?"
"No, erm, just this beer mat..."
"well it's in this pub innit, you wanna be careful mate, taking the piss outa peoples local pubs"
"Yeah, cheers for the advice."

Drunk our beers and went to the next pub.

The term "Push bikes" makes me furious.

The term "Push bikes" makes me furious.

Do the London to Brighton, first small hill you get to everyone stops, gets off and pushes. The Wiggle Monkey's, when they weren't adopting rickets position, were pushing their bikes up all the climbs at Mayhem too. Push bike does seem apt at times.

(New year resolution, must stop being influenced by Wu quite so much.)

think you lost it when you said a GT backwoods wasn't really retro mush

you should have invited him on a rideout ,you never know

The term "Push bikes" makes me furious.

I did the Devon Stage of the Tour of Britain charity ride - there was this couple at the start - posing with their shiny Pinarello & Cervelo carbon.
First hill - and not that far up it - there they are walking!
And they were wearing baggy shorts - on carbon roadbikes - there should be laws!

Mind you - I had to wait 8 minutes at the top of the hill for my ride buddies to catch up!
