It's good to know there are still people who will defy conventional wisdom to do silly things.

 

[D-rock]

There's no reason to protect people from themselves.

That's what I like to see. It sucks it was cancelled this year, it is a 200 year old tradition. It even says they may not hold it next year either. Ridiculous. If people want to do it, let them. Get them to sign a liability waiver and all is good. It is something I really want to do myself, looks fun and heeelarious.

I couldn't fit it into my schedule anyhow. I'm already practicing for this year's sex doll rafting race. Every day!

 

[Member442]

Good for them doing it anyway.

GregC good for you. You'll be the best at it in no time.

 

[Embryoyo]

There was also a children's and women's race.

Psh... Equality :rofl:

 

[Petra]

Shouldn't this be a dutch event?

Oh wait...no hills.

Here we go :bowdown:

Main, I'm so tired of this nanny state bullshit with the government trying to keep people safe despite tradition. What's next, is Pamplona going to cancel the Running of the Bulls? Is Buñol going to cancel La Tomatina? Is America gonna close down public schools!?

Sheesh! You give 'em an inch...

you're not allowed to do anything in britain these days that might hurt you anyone within half a mile of you. humourless bastards in grey suits have to try and suck all the fun out of life.

I'm not trying to turn this into a political debate, but does it have anything to do with the single payer system? If we had single payer health care, I think them dudes from JackAss wouldn't be seen with much humor....sorry, humour.

But hell, the same thing's been happening here so maybe it's just the way of the modern age. Some towns in America require adult bicyclists to wear helmnets. But in London, it seems you don't even have to wear clothes.

Good for them.It`s surprising how sodding steep the hill is though.
