The number of commuters who cycle with tyres as flat as his back tyre is incredible.

I love how the yanks are addicted to inventing and really throw stuff like this out there. Sky Mall is my favourite in-flight mag when travelling in the US, Inventor's Corner is brilliant.

This may have worked this morning too....

-"What's new?" is an interesting and broadening eternal question, but one which, if pursued exclusively, results only in an endless parade of trivia and fashion, the silt of tomorrow. I would like, instead, to be concerned with the question "What is best?," a question which cuts deeply rather than broadly, a question whose answers tend to move the silt downstream. There are eras of human history in which the channels of thought have been too deeply cut and no change was possible, and nothing new ever happened, and "best" was a matter of dogma, but that is not the situation now. Now the stream of our common consciousness seems to be obliterating its own banks, losing its central direction and purpose, flooding the lowlands, disconnecting and isolating the highlands and to no particular purpose other than the wasteful fulfillment of its own internal momentum. Some channel deepening seems called for.-

not looking forward to throwing on the nice wet shorts etc that I rolled up and threw in the bag earlier at 6ish! Not an inch of space on the radiators this morning

Sure twas only a bit of drizzle! For me, cycling in the rain for 20 mins beats walking/luasing for an hour any day*


*except icy days, maybe...

I saw the forecast.
Got up at 05:55, jumped on the bike and was at work for 6;25 with time for a gym session & a swim & didn't get rained on so no wet cycling gear.

And avoided rain on the way home too.

It's all coming up Millhouse!

Captain Havoc

I had a whole bike rack to myself this morning.

Maybe it's flat so he can get more grip in the wet......?!

Surveyor11

It was wet, but at least not too cold. Yep, cycled in like a boss. mental traffic - loved hearing the car commuters swapping stories about 2 hours plus commutes from 10 miles away.

Snako

I wimped out of cycling and got soaked anyway

Budawanny

Jumped on the mtb . thankful for the disc brakes today in that sh*te.

eeeee

Me!

Had a lovely quiet cycle in.

Rain jacket and overpants not the best look however!

Hate that it is dry now and will have a fat bag for cycle home though :rolleyes:

Looks like the easterly gale tailwind I had on the way in has veered to southwesterly for a homebound tailwind. Yus!!...

Lawr

Cycled in to work today. Honestly considered driving, then saw on sky news that the afternoon was going to be brilliant. Glad I cycled.

Lusk_Doyle

I saw the rain pelting down outside this morning and just walked downstairs and turned the laptop on. Epic commute. I opened the blinds on the way. Bone dry though!

Harrybelafonte

I saw rain and was unwilling to force mini me to cycle to school, so drove. I could barely see out of any of the f'kin car windows which was really scary. I miss my heated side mirrors and decent demister.

And just as a reminder, it was no easier seeing a cyclist in a luminous vest, than without one.

You need UV light for those to stand out and that requires sunshine...

Who saw the wind and rain this morning and still cycled in?

I did

I did, my usual commute (one hour each way or so).

My skin is, and so I am... waterproof, no bother to me .

Cyclists smug? Nah!

Ah really? I was looking forward to wearing a hi vis jacket and being able to change lanes without looking/being able to see through my hood, or maybe flying along the footpath to really look after MY safety...I mean fcek everyone else's right?
