So many guys on bikes - sometimes gals too

[Geejay]

At weekends it's understandable. Everyone who can is on their bike in ones, twos or peletons, wrapped up against the winter cold, face scarf covering mouth and nose, wooly hat under helmet, brightly coloured and patterned lycra - quiet roads, super-smooth surfaces, well graded inclines (mostly) and c/f UK, respect from motorists.

But during the week? Not so many, mostly in ones, old retired guys like me I can understand, but young guys too. Why aren't they at work? Don't get me wrong, I think it's great so many out exercising, and we're out every day too walking, cycling.

Can anyone explain how it is there are so many young leisure cyclists out during the working week?

And another thing, why so many netball courts attached to houses out in the country? And I've never seen one in use.

Shift work or flexitime

Or they work rosters sometimes including weekends and have days off in the week, like I did as a pilot and when I did a driving job.

Or oil rig workers - month on, month off.

Lots of people have those sorts of jobs, even supermarket workers.

Netball?? are you sure they are not tennis courts or wall ball...Spanish only tend to use country houses in the summer,,BUSBY,,

Wall ball, not net ball. You're right.
