Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ninja Runners.

Now, whilst I love all my brothers and sisters who choose to share in this running lark, I feel that we don't make it easy for others at times.

Perhaps it's due to the larger numbers of runners out in January that I have particularlty noticed this phenomenon, but going out garbed completely in black after around 1600 is a tad dicey at this time of year when near traffic.

Fepping cyclists on the fepping pavements. Especially when there's a cycle lane on the road. That's FOUR times I was nearly mown down on my run today, including twice when they came round a sharp corner. GET OFF the bloody PAVEMENT!! Aaaaaargh!

Even when there isn't a cycle lane on the road. There's no excuse (says a non-cyclist, but I'm right).(*)

(*) if cyclist is a small child, I'll overlook it.

I agree, as a cyclist. It pisses the hell out of me when people on bikes do twattish things like hammering along the pavement. Apart from being dangerous to legitimate pavement-users, it gets us all tarred with the same brush.

I don't want to share my sport with grown men who are too scared to cycle on the road.

I commute by bike and wouldn't consider riding on the pavement.

Anyone under the age of 12 is excused, otherwise get on the bloody road you pansy. Oh and you who pushes your bike up the most feeble hill every morning. You'd be better off walking FFS.
