If you saw me cycle, you'd say, "He's slow, can't climb, can't sprint... has limited stamina. Best sport for him would be one where you don't need speed, strength or stamina... how about netball?" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13174#post-160164 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 22:25:07 +0000 Nelly 160164@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Netball<br /> Badminton<br /> And.......<br /> Wrestling! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13174#post-160161 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 21:58:42 +0000 Greenroofer 160161@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Triathlon and then different kinds of athletics for me. </p> <p>It doesn't say how good a match you are, does it? I can almost imagine the computer thinking "well, you're a weedy, uncoordinated, cissy, I can't really offer you much. The closest match is triathlon, but it's not <em>very</em> close. Sorry."</p> <p>I was in Birmingham at the weekend, where we watched a triathlon. It looked quite hard work. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13174#post-160159 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 21:51:17 +0000 cb 160159@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just out of interest, putting all the sliders fully left with an age of 70 gives:</p> <p>1.

Hockey?

Unfortunately swimbling was almost ignored at my school, though that made it relatively easy to be the fastest swimmer in school by some margin in sixth form. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13174#post-160133 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 17:50:03 +0000 Cyclingmollie 160133@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>It doesn't ask if you're Frank Vandenbrouke's dog</em></p> <p>It could ask:</p> <p>Do you regularly eat delicious tainted beef?<br /> Do you have a weird twin blood thing?<br /> Do you have some of the best legal advice known to man?<br /> Are you often out the country when WADA calls? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13174#post-160131 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 17:37:04 +0000 I were right about that saddle 160131@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>It doesn't ask if you're strong.</em></p> <p>It does ask if you're a mouse or a rhino.

I used to play in the national league. Not very well. In fact, in retrospect.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13174#post-160116 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 15:26:36 +0000 Stickman 160116@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>1.
