Fat Cyclists

I am all for keeping fit, I am all for keeping yourself healthy – in fact I absolutely think it’s great when people go and do something about it – such as buy a bike and put their helmets on in a bid to stay active.  But. And there always a but – otherwise why would I be blogging?

But.

Make sure you’re bloody able to cycle to wherever it is you’re meant to be cycling to before you hit rush hour traffic on your two-wheeled pedal machine. It is dangerous when you’re huffing & puffing, struggling to pump those legs clad in expensive cycling shorts, when you’re all over the road because frankly my dear, you’re just not ready. Get some weekend practice in, cycle the route a few times before you start endangering other road users, please.

I don’t want to run you over, really I don’t. I don’t want to honk my horn in case it scares you. I don’t want to appear to have road rage because really I’m a very nice person. Just get out of the road if you’re struggling to ride. Oh, and it’s not a pretty sight either.
