Being in the presence of a woman and her daughter I had to refrain from sending him on his way with a few choice words.
So it seems these people are arseholes even on cycle paths and towards other cyclists
The woman I was talking to agreed that the gimps aren't nice people
Sorry Swanny I'm missing something here - I'm just not grasping the link between negative personality traits and lycra. Do you think there is a slight possibility that the chap in question could behave like a 'gimp' even if he was dressed in different clothing?

I was talking to a woman today and she said she was quite fond of fit young men dressed in lycra. Was the woman you were talking to wearing a habit by any chance? Lol
