Unless racing Keirin in Japan an NJS habit is more comedy than serious.

So, my dad bought a new rain jacket for cycling purposes, found out it was to small and handed it over to me.
Which is nice of him - as a student I'm constantly broke and I needed a new rain jacket.
The catch: It's high-viz. Fluro yellow all the way, with big fuckin reflectors down both arms. It's dreadful.
It rained today, I wore it. It kept me dry and reasonably warm, not sweaty, not cold. I still felt like a right twat. -

Embrace the fluoro and don't worry, if it keeps you seen, dry and warm job done, use it and save up for a less flouro one have a ceremonial passing on of the jacket to someone else when you get the new one.

Sometimes I see people who I think are on here and I don't "DAS" them
Sometimes.

What does "DAS" actually mean? Is it like spotting/mentioning riders? I've never known.

Dangle a Sack, it's to make the rider stick their arse as close to the rear wheel as possible.

It's a reference to the series of 1990s washing detergent adverts starring Danny Baker. The misspelling is an example of forum gold.

An abbreviation of the phrase "Das ist Brick Lane, meine freunde", coined after someone locked his bike to a tourist's Mercedes

In the 1980s and early 90s, Microsaft had a product called DAS or Disk Aperating System. Because this is the internet, people pretend to fondly remember it, even though it was superseded by much more user-friendly systems.
When this forum was first launched, it could only be accessed via DAS because everyone here is a faux-retro hipster. It shows that you're a true LUFGUSS OG.

Alternatively, it's also been said to stand for "Dripping Arsecheek Sac" - a timely warning that only twats ride with worn cleats

That's weird I always thought it stood for "Direct Attached Storage" (not to be confused with the computery DAS). I've always shouted DAS when the respective cyclist is sporting one of these:
Which I thought was a way to identify all forumers. -

That looks like it's been mounted backwards.

I confess. I can't mount my DAS properly.

Directionally Awry Storage.

I confess, I hate when people use disc wheel covers...
Oh and btw, we had some fun before she went away to India to be a cliche.
