32mm Marathons and snow keeping me on my toes

Ended up with these https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/p/mountain-equipment-mens-guide-gloves-B13JAB0096.html
Which are actually what I had before they got nicked. They lasted 10 years so I figure another set isn't a bad shout.

Imagine the KOM's you have gotten into work?

Travelling SE into central wasn't too bad but was a lot warmer/sweatier than my last commute. Notable increase in really really shit people riding bikes this morning.

Sacked it off this morning. Another terrible night with the toddler and I really didn't feel like riding my bike when I got up. Used the wind as a convenient final excuse.

I ran over a bag containing a croissant. It got jammed in the rear mech. That is all.
Stay safe out there.

Did you get to eat the croissant at least?

Plastic bags are the devil. One of my worst crashes was caused by a plastic bag flying into my chain, blowing up my mech. Massive damage, it was unreal.

Wasn't even my croissant...

• #30939
Yeah I'd not have thought this possible. The frame is bent back at the hanger..!

I would feel that I had a distinct moral claim to any baked product that damaged my bike in such a manner

Talking of baked goods and commutes:
Sometimes I leave work late and end up passing a bakery/cafe type thing just after they've closed. I see them mercilessly dumping sandwiches, pastries and bread into a plastic bag and putting it outside on the street for collection.
I so far have not stolen a bin bag full of pastries but I have been tempted.
Thoughts? -

Ask them?
-
• #30944
And ask whether they would donate them to a local homeless shelter or other charity?
-
• #30945
They sell bags of random get what you're given stuff for a few quid near the end of the day but obviously what's left is just getting thrown away.
Donating it would obviously be a better use of it than me taking home a bin bag of pastries and filling the freezer with bread. I'll see if I can find a contact -

I used to help myself to this sort of shit all the time back in the day when I was considerably more poor. Sometimes people can be arseholes if they see you taking it, and it is very technically theft, but most of the time people don’t care / will calm down if you explain yourself.

Dunnes bakery in crouch end used to (and I believe, still do) donate a lot of bread and baked products to a group making sandwiches and sort of packed meal kits for distribution to unhoused folk in central London.

Deffo have a conversation about it. I used to help out collecting end of day goods from Highgate and Crouch End Gail’s for the Holloway Ringcross foodbank. It should be fine.

That's what they use. Have bought stuff before but got a few chicken butties, not ideal as a house of vegetarians
It's funny no one has ever started a thread about winter gloves.
