Silly Commuting Race - The RulesThe Game:Dropping / Pulling anyone higher in the Food Chain Number makes you stronger and more attractive to burds*. Getting dropped / trying to keep up with anyone lower means your soul hires a kudos remover to lower your self worth. If you scalp someone you have to maintain or extend your lead for such a time as to have the dude you passed admit to themself "I was done". Nipping by, then running into a side road / hiding in traffic won't wash, Be honest with yourself. *Not strictly trueRules:1/ No Dangerous Manoeuvres (Don’t be a danger to any other road users or yourself) Falling off causes pain to you and others around you, don’t do it! (oh and you loose yer points)2/ Don’t ride like a c0ck, we’re all just trying to get somewhere!3/ No passing at Lights/Junction/Crossings, if you do, it doesn’t count4/ All passing on open road ONLY. Filtering in traffic is null and void (you know whether you’ve dropped someone fairly, and haven’t turned off straight afterwards)5/ Pavement passes, either you or the target is void6/ Show no pain, unless, like me your face is just like thatFOOD CHAIN NUMBERS:1.
