Man rides across Canada dressed as a knight in the name of chivalry

[HPLovecraft]

This is pretty awesome. Besides the strangeness of a French knight wearing an English tabard, what Vincent Gabriel Kirouac is doing is every man's dream. Dress up as a medieval knight, with helmet and sword, and ride a horse across the countryside.

Well, almost every man's dream.

See, this is something that can raise awareness. I was afraid it was for breast cancer or the sunrise or something.

Bareback the whole way? I suppose he is French, so he might be a glutton for punishment who likes it rough.

[Cheese]

Knights who say Ni?

[Hatter]

Awesome.

Chivalry is dead because equal rights for women killed it.

[saskflames69]

Cool.

[shermanator]

Silly knight, you can't talk on a cell phone!

Has this ever happened to you? I make it a point to open doors, and let women go first in lines, and even tell my boy that girls go first.

This has never ever happened to me. Every women has said thank you.

Yeah ........chivalry isn't coming back.

[HPLovecraft]

If you watch the video I linked in my post, he isn't really talking about the medieval conception of chivalry meaning court romance, but in more general terms.

That's cause you're Canadian - try doing that in Iraq or Afghanistan and not get stoned to death for adultery

I was expecting the picture to be of Aeneas!

I don't reckon I will let them roadmap how I deal with people.

But yet never wave when you let them in while driving. Actually nevermind, nobody in Calgary does this.

Good thing for this guy there aren't a lot of windmills in the Canadian countryside...

Yes it has. It was bizarre. I like to think I'm chivalrous and I do lots of things for ladies, but every now and again you get a weird "Woman's Rights" freak activist and you just roll your eyes.

The funny thing is the real knights were some of the worst people in the time. They weren't chivalrous at all. The modern view of them comes form story and myth and rumour. The actual ones abused their power and could be real monsters.
