A couple of colleagues have started cycling to work, so I thought I'd introduce them to the niceties of The Rules.

When attempting to access said website, a warning message popped up from our work IT system saying that the site contained malicious content. The system then closed the web browser automatically.

Any clues?

I think I had that once before (can't quite remember if it was the Velominati site, or another I had open at the time), but seems ok for me at the moment.

Well it is a bit rude about people who like saddle bags

It does feature the f word a bit. Shabby drafting in some of the rules IMHO

Your IT system needs to apply Rule 5.

Really, why should it be rude about the toughest fittest riders out there?

Because they're carrying a bag under their saddle

Yep that's what you do when 100 miles will be ticked off before lunch rather than being considered epic.

Yes, but they're doing it with a bag under the saddle

I haven't got a saddle bag, but I have to say a small aero one tucked right up under the saddle is arguably preferable to having the race-fit lines of one's Castelli Perfetto spoiled with a bulky inner tube and a bag of Haribo.

These things are important. Style on the bike should not be taken lightly.

Small aero one. Exactly. Not the massive, saggy halfrauds specials a lot of people I see feel the need to stick on a £1k+ bike. They're only £5 less than the good ones!

It's been proven that there's a direct correlation between the size of someone's saddle bag and the size of their testicles. If you don't have anything large in your sac you don't have a large sac to carry your stuff.

What size of saddlebag would Annemiek van Vleuten use?
