Psst! I think he's talking about us!
I read this with mixture of unconcealed amusement combined with toe-curling embarrassment due to the accuracy of Dominic's description of my life, and I figured I wouldn't be alone!

Well, yeah. I can imagine that linking your product in any way to the Cybertruck, the most ridiculed product in recent history, isn't a PR victory,...

Thank goodness for that. I don't suppose anyone would want you to. You certainly behave like one though.

You do see some utterly ridiculous examples of car use....

Exactly. Every road death is a tragedy but this is at the "twat deserved it" end of the spectrum, looking at the state of that car.

I'm not the editor of this article, nor indeed of anything on this website. One would have thought that didn't require explaining.

I think the answer is in your question. I genuinely didn't know he was married to her. It does kinda explain it. Disappointing, nevertheless.

In a perfect world, we'd have a measure of how easily distracted someone is, as part of their driving test....

These products are nothing but ridiculously expensive and superfluous, and they bring nothing but bragging rights....

Of course they are, and not so different. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09B662CDN?crid=34M42BETAMFT0&th=1 The bugger's got four versions up now!

So you're an OMIL then FOG?
I've added another category to the poll http://road.cc/content/poll/21528-are-you-mamil-middle-aged-men-lycra…-theyre-everywhere-apparently
I wish I was young enough to be middle aged
Hey F&C, to be fair to the writer I think he's often away from his BBC desk and on his bike. I agree with your sentiment though in having respect for any of those who have a go!
Well I think 50 is middle aged but who cares?
If you're fat you will look fat and if you are a 6 pack god then lycra will look great lol.
Personally I don't care and have respect for a fat guy in lycra busting his rear to climb that hill ride that century than someone doing nothing but moan about it from behind their BBC desk!
Besides gives us more people to blast past and bikes cheaper...so I thought!
If you're too busy looking at other riders then you're not riding fast enough!
I emailed this to my wife before she saw it and sent it to me.
Look on the bright side - we're part of the zeitgeist.
I am more hurt that 35 is middle aged!!
