  1. There was a young cyclist called Helen Whose maternal bosom was swellin' She'd break all your ribs
    If she caught you in bibs, So there is just no point in rebellin'

    There was a young cyclist called Guy Whose recumbent was not very high He was tearing around With
    both feet off the ground But honking he dared not try

    There was a young [insert noun here] called Smith Who tried to perpetuate myth That GATSOs are bad
    We all think he's mad So we flamed him and just took the pith.

    There was a young cyclist called Myra Who bog snorkled pools of dry cider She wouldn't go near Big
    pools of beer 'Cos she hated the taste inside her

    One more...

    There was a young cyclist call Rich Who had a terrible itch He adjusted his bars To poke up his [censored]
    But he farted and went in a ditch.

    Your turn ...

    Love and hugs from Rich x

  11. And there's more

    There is a poster called Herr Schmidt Who goes on about cameras a bit So much it fact I think he is
    backed By an ex-politician who's a [censored]

    Cyclists must ride on the track And give motorists their road back They've paid enough To own the

    I really like these limericks These crazy, rhyming gimericks They look easy to write But try some
    tonight And you'll find that the last lines are often impossible (Anon)

    A young cyclist name of Richard Had to keep up his cycling guard So a motorist twit Didn't Richard
    hit And cause him to bang his head hard.

    ales Complemented with lashings of grub

    There was a young cyclist called Jayne Who had an elastic bike chain. One surge of the cranks Took

    There once was a cyclist called Fred Who took his racer to bed He smeared lots of lube Inside his
    seat tube And for detail I think that's 'nuff said.

  19. Bit of self parody for you.

    There was an old cyclist from Brum Who rode down the tow-path for fun They told him he oughta Keep
    clear of the water But this Brummie is awfully dumb.

    And here's some weather stuff.

    When riding to work in the rain I'm asked if it isn't a pain I say I can't get Much wetter than wet
    So please do not ask me again

    I went for a ride in the sun Along with my number two son The weather was hot So as far as we got
    Was the pub where we popped in for one

    The snow and the ice can be pretty As you cycle away from the city But remember you need To take
    care of your steed The gritters are out, what a pity.

    who in bib shorts she'd spy and wrote down her thoughts and then read 'em
    :-)
