Yay, every day sexism :(

Is there a version with skulls and lasers? :p

I hope so! I'm glad not to know any human (female or otherwise) who would be seen crushed under a lorry wearing that travesty.

Could be worse: That with matching underwear ;)

Who cycles around in their underwear?

Judging by some very see-through bibs, definitely not the bloke in front of me yesterday morning. Yeeeuuugh!

Some chap this morning had a perfectly round hole in his bibs allowing full peepo vision of his hairy crack. I should have mentioned it but didnt.

For his methane after-burner no doubt

Some people like to match... socks, pants, bra if applicable, helmet, shoulderbag... commando is nearly preferable to flowery underpants as far as I'm concerned ;)

Unless you're an overweight, middle aged man in see-through lycra of course

That's how I roll. What of it?

Ughhh.

Stroh 80 - the drink of the Gods

I need to try this although I presume there's a reason it's used to soak fruit in and features in desserts more than drinks...

No kangaroos in Austria...

Fucking entitled prick.

He certainly thought so

My commute was cut short by a flat, I was close to home no drama.
I got to try my chinese chamois boxers. I sized up (uk s so got an l) I was cut out of them 3 hours later after losing a kilo of sweat in the office.
Commando ride home in jeans.

Zips.

Nothing wrong with wearing your lycra at work though if that makes you happy :p

Stuff of nightmares

He seems to have been fitted with hi-vis teeth

I got involved a right mess this morning. South on Holloway Road and in the bus lane I hear an ambulance siren. Looking back I see it's travelling in the bus lane too. Me and other cyclists slow and get on to the pavement. It passes. Then a 4x4 weaves in its wake and joins and leaves the bus lane getting v close to cyclists. At the point where the driver wants back in the bus lane I'm in the way. And I stay in the way. The driver's going nuts mouthing get out of my way and banging the steering wheel. I look at her. Puzzled. That's when I saw the flashing blue lights under the bumper and in the grill. I move left to clear her entry to the bus lane and cause a cycle pile up because I didn't shoulder check first. 3 riders and the policewoman find our way into the Majestic wine car park. All riders are OK. Scratches. Bikes ok too. The policewoman was calm as we all were. We agreed it was a miscommunication and that was an end to it.

PS. I was on my way to observe a cycle training course.

PPS Why no siren?

Have you considered cyc...

The music from this will occasionally pop into my head without warning #thanksforthememories
