IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
from British Cycling
A British Cycling Member has been in touch to share his employer’s attitude to provision for cyclists (showers, lockers, parking, etc). When he asked his employer if they could install a simple bike rack outside work, they declined because “it was discriminatory to people who lived too far away and had to drive”... What facilities does your workplace have and what’s your employer’s attitude to cycle commuting?
One response to the above which I thought was rather good....
"aren't car parks discriminatory to people that don't have cars?"
or
"I'd like to know which discrimination act states that that is discriminatory - bonkers!"
Going past civil service at broomhouse yesterday, was struck by the full bike racks - full of bikes, plus full of smokers !!!!
Thats bonkers. Sometimes I take the bike in on the train. There is no limit to how farI can bring my bike to work when on a train. Not all places of work are spitting distance from a train station so some workers are going to want to cycle even if it not the whole way.
I love how completely ridiculous this is.
As has been pointed out, is a car park therefore discriminatory against non-car owners?
and even worse , if i happen to drive a hired vehicle, with the name of the hire company on the number plate,..........every one else will think i have no car of my own,am poor, stupid, a mixture of both and am to be laughed at openly at every oppertunity !
call discriminaty lawyers 4you on 080.........etc !
'Too far away' is a wonderfully compressible concept. Show them DaveC's morning run and they'd be wiping brick dust off with their Andrex.
Thats kind of you Uberuce but my commute pales in comparison to a collegue who cycles in a couple of days a week from Whitburn. And now its Winter he's on his Mountain bike as the road bike doesn't have studs. He regularly rides over the bathgate hills to Linlithgow before riding into the centre of Edin. Thats near on 30 miles each way.
