That's what's cool about biking abroad,you just hold your left arm out and down,I love doing it! sad ain't I ? one thing though, French bikers never acknowledge twist and go merchants or little bikes in general,they probably think they're superior but we all started somewhere ay?
Don't know whether anyone else has noticed this but French ladies really get off on manners,I don't know if French blokes in general are a bit chauvinistic but if you go out of your way with French working girls,whether they're waitresses,shop assistants,cleaners,it doesn't matter, they're not used to it and they really appreciate it,really,really friendly you get so attached to 'em it makes you feel good that English people are naturally well mannered.
