Who introduced you?

Google for me, I was looking for some advice on training for the spring and road cc was in the top ten of results

Raleigh started this thread in an attempt to win some socks, I think. I'm not sure whether we ever sent him any. Still, nice to see it still has legs

google

Me, myself and I via Google when looking for reviews.

I was a fully jerseyed-up devotee of RCUK at the time (They do jolly nice jerseys too BTW)

I arrived here after doing research on out of season cycling in spain and came across the article "the terrain in spain". I followed the advice and would thoroughly recommend cycling in la manga and kept coming back to the web site thereafter

Google!

Can't remember. Google, I think, looking for reviews of road bikes: I've been riding for years but never had a proper one until I bought a CAAD8 in April '12, and haven't shut up about the joys of commuting in London since, even though the bike in question (and, temporarily, my fitness) is now a write-off thanks to SMIDSY.

Followed a news story from Google.
Stayed because your all stroppy, opinionated individualists who have more in common with goats than sheep. Basically you're cyclists!
[Where I come from being called a goat is good; being called a sheep is baaa-d]

Afternoon all, I've actually re-introduced myself as I haven't posted in years and had idea which email addy I'd used nor password so thought it best to start afresh as it were.

Plus after reading Stanleys lovely posts I simply had too.

Ride safe.

Was a Bristolian and a chat with The Cheesy Riders, mentioned Road CC during a pub meet. Also saw adverts on STW.

Another one from STW here 

My riding friend Wade invite me this forum~Very nice place!I'm very glad to be here.

i found by myself 

Just bike mad and come across the site. Bike Radar is good too! 

I followed a link , I have forgot where I saw it, must be my age

It was the buyers guide for endurance road bikes that drew me in and now I can't escape.

I was introduced to road.cc by google 

Was introduced by Google (he's my friend you know!) who kept bringing up this forum on various searches that I was doing.  Thought it rude not to sign up.

A good friend!  

Alta Vista.  That's a lie, it was Google.

My dad introduced me to road cycling.  I was young,  I scored a bent top tube sissy bar 20inch wheel speed machine!
Then I'd get in trouble,  dad would hide my bike,  I wouldn't be able to find it so I'd go crying to granddad;  British RSM James.  'Waah,  dad's taken my bike, '
'Look beside the shed '
'Won't fit besides the shed '
' bullshit,  there's enough room there to stack bombs'
' found it,  thank you. '

Or maybe introduction was from my great mate 'Micheal the wog. '
1990 maybe 1991. We had a physics project,  about 8 weeks,  design and build a rubber band propelled vehicle.  Final test was fastest across a measured distance and the furthest travelled.
We blitzed it.  Did sweet FA and chatted nonstop during many weeks having designed and built the project during the first lesson.
We were both boof heads and our teacher Mr Turnbull( and that he did as us boys did listen to him with visual obience to look) told us we didn't look alike and I wouldn't get away with using my mates bus pass!  ( Micheal was shorter with tree trunk legs and I was taller and lean)  .
Anyway,  Micheal had a top shelf road bike.  I was amazed that he could ride to Victor Harbour in a day to which he replied 'no,  no,  there and back. ' that's about 180 km..
This was the physics I was learning.  I said coming back must be easy aye as my car would top out at 50kmph climbing the 7km long slope.  That was wrong assumption again as although the climb was steep,  it was over and done with then a constant run whereas coming back was a constant climb onto a quick short session.

Day of testing.  We won although scrutiny disengaged us from the competition.  We argued yet although the rules read propelled,  the inadequate education of our leader denied his ability to correctly read what he had written and insisted the unit must be internally propelled.  Our Shangi and matchbox car combination was just too superior to register contest upon the day!!!!!
Teacher was yelling at me a long time!!  I kept mucking about..  When dialogue bestowed wisdom upon I I allowed him the courtesy of reply, ' I didn't know you wanted me,  you kept calling out Michaels name,  we do look a like aye,  recon suggests bus pass will allow my passage. '

Nowadays,  I like road cycling regardless of bike type.  As long as I keep the bike smooth,  lubed and clean on her many fulcrums,  she will be a pleasure to ride.  Ohh..  Avoiding flats is an awesome experience too!

Google hit me with a hit on a question

Hi All!! 

Ah Boatsie... where are you now I wonder.

I googled my way through

My mother, some 40-odd years ago. Thanks mum.

Google... Not been serious about forums since the cycling weekly one where I posted regularly and we had a good group until CW messed about with the forum and it became clichy. . I did join wheelsuckers,with the intention of posting.. then life got in the way and when I went back it had gone.
So,here I am.. early days.. but hope to post.
Anyone on here from the old CW forum??

I was attending a workshop on environment and sustainable development near Elland Road, Leeds. (Btw, the workshop was on an interesting topic - Climax community) That's when I met this bloke with his last name Johnson, a passionate cyclist. Interactions with him helped me land on this website. I haven't met him since, and I do not happen to know his handle. Wherever you are - Thanks, Johnson!

My Grandfather, a good South London boy, bought a Roberts when he retired; 'nuf said.
