  1. I can't believe that this newsgroup doesn't seem to contain any
    discussions or information about recycling, and instead is filled with
    endless debates about bicycles. What is the point of having a forum
    dedicated to recycling, and using it to talk about wheels and roads and
    tyres and saddles etc?

    Kindly take this nonsense about bicycles elsewhere, and give those of us
    who want to discuss recycling a chance to do it here where it belongs.
    If you want a place to discuss bicycles, I'm sure a suitable newsgroup
    can be created for you, but this newsgroup is intended for the
    discussion of recycling, so please keep it out of here.

    Thank you.

    You clearly have not been paying attention. All the arguments in this
    newsgroup are recycled endlessly. In fact we do little other than
    recycling here.

    I would imagine H&S would require the wearing of helmets in a recycling
    facility.... ;-)

    but emissions of greenhouse gases could be reduced.

  5. Am I missing something here? Looks to the left of screen -yup - says
    uk.rec.cycling. That's what we do here - share, advise and inform each
    other and discuss CYCLING.

    I think Danielle that you may have been in the Butchers Arms, Canton
    Cross or the Corporation Hotel too long when you sent your post.

    I'd be more worried about the implications of all the hot air for global
    warming ;-)

    I wasn't thinking about air 😉

    Isn't recycling a tautology?
    What's the difference between cycling and recycling?

    *snort* That was a good one! Newsgroup reads uk.rec[c]yling. I
    purposefully omit [\.] for the pedants.

    Errmmm...I think...<looks up regexp>, yep, I think that's right.

    We frequently advise newbies to consider a second hand bike rather than a
    Halfrauds 49p clunker.

    Cycling is doing it once, recycling is doing it more than once. No?

    According to the dictionary definitions of the prefix re-, recycling
    could either be cycling again, cycling backwards or cycling intensively.
    Take you pick.

    Halfords do bikes for 49p! Wow!! Can I sell them on Ebay? mmmmmm
    Perhaps with an African email address and Western Union cheque I could
    sell two and still be in profit.

    LOL.

    This has to win the award for the best posting of 2005.

    [1] If you live too far from your nearest navigable waterway to take an
    unrideable bike there, simply leave it propped against the road sign at
    the end of your street. Within 48 hours it'll disappear, probably
    ending up in the nearest navigable waterway.

    48 hours. Oooh you live in a posh area. It would be gone in well under
    48 minutes round here 🙂

    My wife accidentally left my bike outside on the street the other week after
    putting the c*r in the garage. Six hours later when I went to go somewhere,
    it was still there..

    Probably something to do with the ice and snow on the ground..
