Insensitive reporting

[noggythenog]

I started biking at 17 stopped using a bike at 24, returned to biking and have been riding again now for over 8 years, so would I be referred to as a born again? If so would it be derogatory.

I would say that it would be.....you may feel differently.


I personally dont like the label as i think it has started off as a term used by bikers such as the likes of "cage" and "power rangers" etc etc as a bit of in house or in magazines biker gossip basically but has now become so mainstream that the BBC is regurtitating it & using it against us....by all means use the statistics but i think all that it really means with these shitty name tags is "those who can afford them" or those who "got a life again" or " too focced up to play sport & drugs no longer appealed to get their kicks"........there are so many individual reasons for riding a bike.




I dont hear too much about cyclists colliding with cars although allot of them are killed on the roads each year....no fancy words for being born again cyclists for example
