Yorkshire has gone mad for the Tour de France

[Classic Jorge]

There's yellow bikes everywhere as well as red dotty things too.

I'm literally encircled this weekend and won't be able to leave my house, apart from to watch some lycra clad wrongcocks whizz past me at almost the speed limit.


Mass participation events :-(

I quite like them actually, nothing like the wons in London who "tomp" you as soon as look at you.

These lot are great, leave something on the street and it's gone within hours. They are basically The Wombles with mullets.

not often a global sporting event goes past your house (or close enough to walk to)

My big fear is that it will encourage cycling, which was previously only popular among massive c**ts and the people who didn't have cars.

If you're over twelve and riding a pushbike you need to take a long, hard look at yourself.

[Pokster]

I would guess that it is a bit more exciting that that

[Classic Jorge]

Are we back on the gypos again?

handing out freebies etc,is called a caravan

I'm avoiding the whole thing, Ilkley is unbearable as it is

[Berni]

go by in about 20 seconds. Then you all go home.

Worst. Spectator 'sport'. Ever.

Hang on, did you take your Yorkshire Evangelist hat off for a moment there?

[Classic Jorge]

[Pokster]

and they all dash off at the slightest bad weather.... yep, you've got it sussed

[Berni]

Although, to be fair, London's truck and bus drivers - combined with the arrogance and stupidity of cyclists - are trying to bring down their numbers one at a time.

The worry is it's just not enough. We need some way of taking more of them out.

[Classic Jorge]

Just stick a f**king motor on it and you'd be lest bent, f**king cyclists

[Berni]

You may not like test cricket, but you'd have to be a f**king moron to say nothing happens. It's just that you aren't interested enough to appreciate it. Others are.

By contrast, for other than 20 seconds, literally nothing happens while 'watching' the Tour De France.

[Berni]

And wear lycra, of course. Truly it is as perverted a pastime as there is. That's where Operation Yewtree should be turning its guns next imo.

[Pokster]

at the part you are watching unless you are at the finishing line.

Each to their own, I'd rather watch this once in a lifetime sport than go to a test match

[Berni]

People tried to get me interested in the 2012 Olympics on the same basis. I wasn't convinced and still am not. I don't care about sailing/kayaking/cycling around a track. Putting the word 'Olympic' in front of it changes nothing. Same goes for cycling a long way and the words 'Tour De France'.

[Classic Jorge]

f**king mass participation people get on my wick

[Pokster]

but considering you hadn't even watched a single game in the world cup I am disregarding anything you say on the matter as you are obviously a loon
